i-STAT

[Guest guest]

The FD that I work for is in the process of purchasing some i-STAT 1

hand-held analyzers for cardiac enzyme levels in the field. Is anyone

else using this product? A few ERs in the area are using them

for " quick " results, but I haven't heard of anyone using these in the

EMS environment. There is a significant cost for the initial purchase

and for each single-use cartridge used. If you have any info (pros and

cons) please let me know.
