i-STAT in the Halifax CVOR• How it all started:
– ACT Monitoring• Previous Analyzer QA
• Comparative Study & the Gold standard
– ABGs in the Halifax CVOR• CG4 and CG8 vs current analyzer

INTRODUCTION:
ACTIVATEDCLOTTINGTIME• Time required for whole blood to clot following
activation of intrinsic coagulation cascade• Required for CPB• No internationally accepted ‘gold standard’ and no
‘true’ ACT value• Most ACT analyzers use mechanical methods to detect
clot formation– i-STAT does not….

HOWITALLSTARTEDQUALITYASSURANCEINITIATIVE:ORIGINALACTMONITORING• Original ACT analyzer
– Helena Actalyke XL®• Requires 0.5 ml per test
– Stops at 1500 seconds
• Concerns with this ACT analyzer– Quality controls
– Large potential for user-error• Volume-dependent/reagent on sides of tube/improper mixing
– Volume of blood required• Pediatric patients on ECLS
QUALITYASSURANCEINITIATIVE:THEQUESTION• How reliable/How much variation between chambers?

HOWITALLSTARTED
METHODOLOGY:• Multiple dual-chamber machines
• Minimize Human error:– Only three users
– 1 ml syringes (standard of practice: 3 ml syringe)
– n = 44
– Two tubes per test, compare ACT values

I-STAT:
ACT DETECTION:• Kaolin-activated clotting time test
• While other systems use mechanical methods, i-STAT uses a direct assessment• Electrochemical sensor to amperometrically detect
conversion of the thrombin substrate with amide linkage mimicking fibrinogen
• Amperometry:– Detection of electroactive compounds
• Thrombin + substrate:– Produces electroactive compound
• Affected less by environmental factors, such as temperature and fibrinogen (Lewandrowski et al and Schussler et al.)
