i-STAT EG7+ cartridge; List Number: 03P76-25;
Approximately 7.6% of cartridges from specific i-STAT EG7+ (list number 03P76-25), i-STAT EG6+ (list number 03P77-25) and i-STAT G3+ (list number 03P78-26) cartridge lots in the U.S. marketplace may report higher than expected PCO2 and lower than expected pH results due to a manufacturing issue. A falsely high pCO2 together with a falsely low pH makes the blood gas appear as if the patient is in severe respiratory acidosis. If the clinician believes the values are real, it may trigger unnecessary or even harmful interventions such as unnecessary ventilator changes, unnecessary medications, potential harm from overcorrection, or delays in identifying true problems.

i-STAT CHEM8+ cartridges (blue), List No. 09P31-25. UDI (01) 00054749001910 - Product Usage: The i-STAT CHEM8+ cartridge may be used for the quantitative measurement of sodium, potassium, chloride, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), ionized calcium, TCO2, glucose, creatinine, and hematocrit in venous, arterial or capillary whole blood.
The I-STAT BLUE CHEM8+ and CG4+ cartridges are not FDA cleared and do not have CLIA waived status. CLIA recognizes two types of laboratory tests: waived and non-waived. Different CLIA standards apply to waived and non-waived tests as well as the facilities that perform these types of tests. The i-STAT CHEM8+ cartridge contains nine measured assays (sodium, potassium, chloride, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), ionized calcium, TCO2, glucose, creatinine and hematocrit) and is categorized as a CLIA waived test for venous whole blood samples, meaning this cartridge could be used in a facility with a CLIA Certificate of Waiver as a waived test.
