i-STAT Point-of-Care Supplies

The Abbott i-STAT handheld blood analyzer puts lab-quality diagnostics in your hand, but the device is only as reliable as the consumables and quality controls behind it. Honest Medical stocks the accessories and control solutions that keep an i-STAT program running accurately and in compliance — the pieces clinicians reorder most, not the ones that sit on a shelf.

Quality assurance starts with verified results. The Abbott Point of Care i-STAT TriControls Control (Level 2, 1.7 mL, 05P7201) lets you confirm cartridge and analyzer performance across multiple analytes with a single aqueous control — the kind of routine liquid QC that supports CLIA documentation and gives you confidence before patient testing. Running controls on a defined schedule, and after any troubleshooting event, is the difference between a defensible result and a repeated draw.

Day-to-day operation depends on the small consumables that are easy to run short on. i-STAT Dispensing Tips (06F24-20) support clean, precise sample transfer onto cartridges, while i-STAT Printer Paper (06F1711) keeps your portable printer producing legible, chartable records at the point of care. Keeping backup stock of both prevents the mid-shift scramble that stalls testing when a facility is busiest.

These supplies suit hospitals, EDs, ambulatory clinics, and mobile and home-health teams that rely on the i-STAT for rapid blood gas, chemistry, coagulation, and cardiac marker results at the bedside. Because they're specific to the Abbott platform, buying the genuine consumables matters — off-spec tips or paper can compromise sample handling or record-keeping.

If you're comparing rapid point-of-care testing lines, you may also want to review the Barbie Stat Strip and Cal Stat Plus collections for related diagnostic and surface-hygiene products used in the same care settings.
