The 'Intended Use / Indications for Use' section explicitly states that the device's measurements are "used in the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of respiratory disturbances and metabolic and respiratory-based acid-base disturbances" and "the diagnosis and treatment of lactic acidosis". The 'Device Description' also refers to the i-STAT 1 Analyzer as a "handheld, in vitro diagnostic analytical device".
No
The device description clearly states the system is comprised of a handheld analyzer, disposable cartridges, and accessories, indicating significant hardware components are integral to its function.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states the device is intended for "in vitro quantification of pH, PO2, PCO2, and lactate in arterial or venous whole blood". "In vitro" means "in glass" or "outside the body," which is a key characteristic of IVDs.
- Device Description: The description details a "handheld, in vitro diagnostic analytical device designed to run only i-STAT test cartridges." This directly labels the device as an IVD.
- Sample Type: The device analyzes "whole blood," which is a biological specimen taken from the body and analyzed outside the body.
- Purpose: The measurements are used in the "diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment" of various medical conditions, which is the core function of IVDs.
The information provided clearly aligns with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Precision (Aqueous Materials):
The precision of the i-STAT pH, PO2, PCO2, and Lactate tests in the i-STAT CG4+ blue cartridge with the i-STAT 1 System was evaluated using 5 levels of aqueous materials. This 20-day multi-day precision testing was based on CLSI document EP05-A3. The study was conducted using multiple instruments and one test cartridge lot over 20 days at one site. Total precision ( 'within-laboratory'), within-run, between-run, and between-day were estimated for each level. Results table shows mean, SD, and %CV for each precision component across 5 levels for pH, PO2, PCO2, and Lactate.
Precision (Whole Blood):
Whole blood precision was evaluated using whole blood venous and arterial specimens collected with lithium heparin. The repeatability analysis was conducted using the data collected across multiple point of care sites. The mean values for each sample were divided into subintervals for each sample type. Results table shows N, Mean, SD, and CV (%) across different ranges for pH, PO2, PCO2, and Lactate in both venous and arterial whole blood.
Linearity:
The study was designed based on CLSI EP06-A. The linearity of the i-STAT pH, PO2, PCO2, and Lactate tests in the i-STAT CG4+ blue cartridge with the i-STAT 1 System was evaluated by preparing whole blood samples of varying analyte levels for each i-STAT test. The i-STAT pH, PO2, PCO2, and Lactate tests demonstrated linearity over the reportable range for each i-STAT test. Regression summary table provides Reportable Range, Range Tested, Slope, Intercept, and r2 for pH, PO2, PCO2, and Lactate.
Limit of Quantitation (LoQ):
The study was based on CLSI EP17-A2. The LoQ of the i-STAT pH, PO2, PCO2, and Lactate tests in the i-STAT CG4+ blue cartridge were evaluated on the i-STAT 1 analyzer using whole blood that was altered to low pH (500 mmHg.
Interference:
The interference performance of the i-STAT pH, PO2, PCO2, and Lactate tests in the i-STAT CG4+ blue cartridge on the i-STAT 1 analyzer was evaluated using whole blood samples based on CLSI EP07 ED3. A substance was identified as an interferent if the difference between the control and test samples was outside of the allowed error (Ea). Most substances tested (Acetaminophen, Atracurium, Calcium, Ethanol, Ibuprofen, Morphine, Potassium, Sodium, Bilirubin, Hemoglobin, Triglyceride, Intralipid, Thiopental for pH/PO2/PCO2; Acetaldehyde, Acetaminophen, N-Acetyl-Cysteine, Ascorbic Acid, β-Hydroxybutyric Acid, Bilirubin, Dopamine, Formaldehyde, Hemoglobin, Hydroxyurea, Pyruvate, Salicylate, Thiocyanate, Triglyceride, Intralipid, Uric Acid for Lactate) showed no interference. Bromide showed interference (decreased results ≥ 40.7 mmol/L) and Glycolic Acid showed interference (increased results ≥ 1.18 mmol/L) for the Lactate test.
Method Comparison with Predicate Device:
Method comparison data was demonstrated in a study based on CLSI guideline EP09c-ED3. Lithium heparin venous and arterial blood specimens were evaluated and analyzed on the i-STAT 1 analyzer against whole blood specimens tested on the comparative method. For pH, PO2, and PCO2, a Passing Bablok linear regression analysis was performed using the first replicate result from the i-STAT CG4+ cartridge with the i-STAT 1 System versus the singlicate result of Radiometer ABL800 FLEX. For lactate, the first replicate result from the i-STAT CG4+ cartridge with the i-STAT 1 System was compared to the mean result of epoc® Blood Analysis System. The results of the method comparison for pH, PO2, PCO2, and Lactate are displayed in a table showing N, Slope, Intercept, and r.
Key Result: The results of these studies demonstrate that performance of the i-STAT pH, PO2, PCO2, and Lactate tests in the i-STAT CG4+ blue cartridge with the i-STAT 1 System are substantially equivalent to the comparative method.

b. Linearity
The study was designed based on CLSI EP06-A: Evaluation of the Linearity of Quantitative Measurement Procedures.
The linearity of the i-STAT pH, PO2, PCO2, and Lactate tests in the i-STAT CG4+ blue cartridge with the i-STAT 1 System was evaluated by preparing whole blood samples of varying analyte levels for each i-STAT test. The i-STAT pH, PO2, PCO2, and Lactate tests demonstrated linearity over the reportable range for each i-STAT test. Regression summary of the response for each i-STAT test versus the concentration of the whole blood samples of varying analyte levels is provided in Table 3.

c. Limit of Quantitation (LoQ)
The study was based on the CLSI EP17-A2: Evaluation of Detection Capability for Clinical Laboratory Measurement Procedures; Approved Guideline-Second Edition.
The LoQ of the i-STAT pH, PO2, PCO2, and Lactate tests in the i-STAT CG4+ blue cartridge were evaluated on the i-STAT 1 analyzer using whole blood that was altered to low pH (500 mmHg.
f. Interference
The interference performance of the i-STAT pH, PO2, PCO2, and Lactate tests in the i-STAT CG4+ blue cartridge on the i-STAT 1 analyzer was evaluated using whole blood samples based on CLSI EP07 ED3: Interference Testing in Clinical Chemistry, Third Edition. The effect of each substance was evaluated by comparing the performance of a control sample, spiked with blank solvent solution, with the test results from a sample spiked with the potentially interfering substance at the toxic/pathological concentration based on CLSI EP37 ED1: Supplemental Tables for Interference Testing in Clinical Chemistry, First Edition, as applicable. A substance was identified as an interferent if the difference between the control and test samples was outside of the allowed error (Ea) for the i-STAT test.
Table 6 and Table 7 contain the lists of potentially interfering substances tested for the i-STAT pH, PO2, PCO2, and Lactate tests and the interference results.

Comparison Study
g. Method Comparison with Predicate Device
Method comparison data was demonstrated in a study based on CLSI guideline EP09c-ED3. Lithium heparin venous and arterial blood specimens were evaluated and analyzed on the i-STAT 1 analyzer against whole blood specimens tested on the comparative method. For pH, PO2, and PCO2, a Passing Bablok linear regression analysis was performed using the first replicate result from the i-STAT CG4+ cartridge with the i-STAT 1 System versus the singlicate result of Radiometer ABL800 FLEX. For lactate, the first replicate result from the i-STAT CG4+ cartridge with the i-STAT 1 System was compared to the mean result of epoc® Blood Analysis System.
The results of the method comparison of venous whole blood and arterial whole blood samples is presented in Table 8.
