The number of patient visits to U.S. Emergency Departments increased by
20% over a recent 10 year period, while the number of Emergency

and delays that puts patient care in jeopardy and reduces their
satisfaction.
Capable of performing an extensive battery of tests, the i-STAT® 1 handheld
system provides ED staff with lab accurate test results in just minutes.
With fast, reliable information at hand, patients can be more quickly
diagnosed and cared for. Time-to-treat could be greatly reduced, and your
patient's outcome could improve dramatically. And when test results are
available immediately, the anxiety of your patients and their families can
be alleviated and patient satisfaction increased. |
