New i-STAT 1 Handheld Display Screens for the Liquid QC Schedule and Lockout
Customization Features
After customizing the i-STAT 1 handheld for the new Liquid QC Schedule and Lockout customization
features, users may encounter some new handheld display screens.
Test Menu: When the On/Off key is pressed on the handheld, and the Test Menu appears, the handheld
will now display one of four messages at the bottom of the screen:
1. “Next i-STAT QC (Date)”: This message will appear if users have been compliant in running
all liquid QC schedules in this handheld within the customized timeframe. It indicates the
upcoming date and time when the grace period begins for the next scheduled liquid QC is
due.
2. “i-STAT QC Due – Complete Before (Date)”: This message will appear to remind users
that the grace period has begun for one of the liquid QC schedules, and the date and time
before which all requirements under that schedule must be completed before analytes are
disabled.
3. “QC Past Due – Not All Cartridges are Active for Testing”: This message appears if the
liquid QC requirements for a schedule were not completed within the grace period. Some
cartridges will be inactive until the schedule requirements are satisfied.
