Description
Key Features
Comprehensive Panel: This cartridge measures a wide range of critical analytes in a single test, including:
Sodium (Na)
Potassium (K)
Chloride (Cl)
Ionized Calcium (iCa)
Glucose (Glu)
Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN)/Urea
Creatinine (Crea)
Hematocrit (Hct)
Total Carbon Dioxide (TCO2)
Anion Gap (calculated)
Hemoglobin (calculated from hematocrit)
Rapid Results: Provides lab-quality results in approximately two minutes, enabling quick clinical decision-making.
Point-of-Care (POC) Testing: Designed for use at the patient's bedside or in clinical laboratory settings, reducing the need to send samples to a central lab and improving turnaround time.
Small Sample Volume: Requires only 2-3 drops (approximately 95 µL) of arterial or venous whole blood.
Advanced Biosensor Technology: Utilizes microfluidics and chemically sensitive biosensors on a silicon chip for accurate and reliable measurements.
Integrated Quality Control: Each cartridge performs a series of preset quality control diagnostics before running the test, ensuring sample quality and reagent validation.
Single-Use Cartridge: Ensures hygienic and convenient testing.
Requires Refrigeration: The cartridges must be stored under refrigeration to maintain their integrity.
Uses
The Abbott i-STAT CHEM8+ Cartridge is used for the in vitro quantification of the listed analytes in whole blood for:
Rapid assessment of metabolic status: Providing quick insights into a patient's acid-base balance and overall metabolic state.
Evaluation of renal function: Monitoring kidney health through BUN and creatinine levels.
Electrolyte balance assessment: Diagnosing and managing electrolyte imbalances (sodium, potassium, chloride, ionized calcium).
Glucose monitoring: Crucial for the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of carbohydrate metabolism disorders like diabetes.
Hematocrit and Hemoglobin determination: Aiding in the determination and monitoring of red cell volume status, useful in conditions like anemia.
Point-of-care diagnostics: Ideal for emergency departments, intensive care units, operating rooms, and other critical care settings where immediate results are vital for patient management.
Clinical laboratory settings: Can also be used in traditional laboratory environments for efficient batch testing or STAT (short turnaround time) requests.
