Linearity Procedure
INTRODUCTION
The i-STAT Celite ACT and the i-STAT Kaolin ACT tests are intended for in vitro diagnostic use. This test
can be performed at the bedside using venous or arterial whole blood. The i-STAT Celite ACT is commonly
used for heparin anticoagulation monitoring for adults during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery
and percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). The i-STAT Kaolin ACT is used for heparin
anticoagulation monitoring during cardiopulminary bypass (CPB) surgery, and can be used in the presence
of aprotinin. The i-STAT ACT tests can be performed using the i-STAT Portable Clinical Analyzer or i-STAT
1 Analyzer. The reportable range of the i-STAT ACT test is from 50-1000 seconds.
The i-STAT ACT tests have demonstrated linearity between 0.0 and 6.0 units of heparin in blood samples
from normal, healthy volunteers.
An in vitro heparin sensitivity curve was generated by adding increasing amounts of heparin to aliquots
of normal donor blood (See graph below which serves as an example only. Each patient demonstrates a
unique dose-response curve.)
