Background and Introductory Information  \nA. This guideline establishes expectations for maintenance, calibration and quality control of theiSTAT portable blood analyzer.  \nB. Previous concerns about accuracy of the device may in part be related to improper storage of cartridges, calibration or other modifiable factors.  \nC. Extreme environments may not allow strict compliance with these guidelines. CCATT personnel should make every effort to comply with all aspects of the storage and QC requirements for theiSTAT, even if perfect compliance is not possible due to the nature of the deployed environment.  \n1. When deviation is necessary it should be noted on the 3899L.  \n2. When significant deviation has occurred accurate interpretation of results may be impossible. Use of such results is at the provider’s discretion.  \nD. Abbott Point of Care offers customer support  \n1. Online [at www.abbottpointofcare.com](at www.abbottpointofcare.com)  \n2.

All CCATT personnel will be trained in the use of the iSTAT device during the CCATT Initial Course.  \nB. Sustainment training will occur at CSTARS Cincinnati during each deployment cycle.  \nIII. Storage and maintenance of the iSTAT device  \nA. The iSTAT device, cartridges and accessories should be stored in the hard plastic case provided in the allowance standard.  \nB. The device should be protected from extremes of temperature as much as possible.  \nC. The device should be checked prior to each mission to determine the next scheduled maintenance date. Devices that are due for schedule maintenance should not be used.  \nIV. Storage of iSTAT cartridges  \nA. The main supply of cartridges should be stored at 2-8°C (35-46°F) .  \nB. If storage conditions are in doubt, controls should be run to verify that cartridges are performing properly.  \nC. CG8+ cartridges in use may be stored at room temperature (18-30°C or 64-86°F) for usage for up to two weeks.  \n1. When removed from the refrigerator place the expiration date on the cartridge package.  \n2. This expiration date should be recorded on the 3899L.  \n3. After removal from the refrigerator, every effort should be made to avoid exposure to extreme temperatures. This may require extraordinary efforts in some deployed settings.  \nD. Once cartridges have been brought to room temperature, they should not be returned to the refrigerator.  \nE. A cartridge should not be removed from its protective pouch until it is at room temperature.  \n1. Condensation on a cold cartridge may prevent proper contact with the analyzer.  \n2. Allow a single cartridge to stand for at least 5 minutes and a box of cartridges for 1 hour at room temperature before opening.  \n3. Use cartridge immediately after removing it from its protective pouch. If the pouch has been punctured, the cartridge should not be used.  \nV. Electronic Simulator  \nA. Any device that fails an electronic simulator check (internal or external) should be removed from service and turned in for maintenance.  \nB. The iSTAT device runs a comprehensive check using an internal simulator each time a sample is run.  \n1. Results will be suppressed if this check is not passed","cbCaiao8i1VIooPg","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiao8i1VIooPg","pdf",324989,"English","# Background and Introductory Information\n## Training\n## Storage and maintenance of the iSTAT device\n## Storage of iSTAT cartridges\n## Electronic Simulator\n## Liquid Controls\n## Software Updates","[{\"question\":\"What should CCATT personnel do when deviation from the storage/QC guideline is necessary?\",\"answer\":\"Deviations should be noted on the 3899L.
