CREATININE/CREA
Creatinine is measured amperometrically. Creatinine is hydrolyzed to creatine in a reaction catalyzed by
the enzyme creatinine amidohydrolase. Creatine is then hydrolyzed to sarcosine in a reaction catalyzed
by the enzyme creatine amidinohydrolase. The oxidation of sarcosine, catalyzed by the enzyme
sarcosine oxidase, produces hydrogen peroxide (H
2
O

). The liberated hydrogen peroxide is oxidized at
the platinum electrode to produce a current which is proportional to the sample creatinine concentration.

If results appear inconsistent with the clinical assessment, the patient sample should be retested using
another cartridge.
INTENDED USE
The test for creatinine, as part of the i-STAT System, is for the quantitative determination of creatinine in
whole blood on the i-STAT handheld.
Creatinine measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of renal diseases, in monitoring renal
dialysis, and as a calculation basis for measuring other urine analytes.
Contents
Each i-STAT cartridge contains one reference electrode (when potentiometric sensors are included in
the cartridge configuration), sensors for the measurement of specific analytes, and a buffered aqueous
calibrant solution that contains known concentrations of analytes and preservatives. For cartridges that
contain a sensor for the measurement of creatinine, a list of reactive ingredients is indicated below:
