Stock
The Stock tab includes Inventory and Estimated Inventory statistics.
■ Inventory: The number of given items as counted and
entered by the user. The inventory is automatically updated
when new orders are received under the Orders tab.
■ Estimated Inventory: The number of i-STAT cartridges
and PCx glucose test strips as estimated by the workspace
software. The initial Estimated Inventory is taken from the
Inventory column. Every time a cartridge or glucose test strip result is transmitted to the Central
Data Station software, the count of the estimated inventory decreases by 1. The Estimated Inven-
tory is automatically updated when new orders are received under the Orders tab. The Estimated
Inventory item count is adjusted to the Inventory count whenever the Inventory column is manu-
ally edited.
Startup Option
The items added under the Items tab will be listed under the Stock tab with Inventory and Reorder set
to 0. There are two ways to populate the Inventory column.
■ Count current stock. Go to the Stock tab, click the Edit button in the toolbar, and enter the cur-
rent inventory. Lot numbers and expiration dates will not be tracked for inventory entered by this
method.
■ Count current stock along with lot numbers, expiration dates and locations. Go to the Order tab
and enter and receive the POs for the existing stock. Go to the Stock tab and manually adjust the
inventory to the current stock count. (Alternatively, receive only the current stock count). This
option allows the user to take advantage of the lot number and expiration date tracking capabili-
ties of the workspace.
Click the Edit button on the toolbar and enter the reorder trigger numbers.
Click a check mark next to Highlight items to be reordered. Items that need to be reordered will be high-
lighted. Reorders are highlighted based on Estimated Inventory.
Edit the inventory by highlighting the item and clicking the Edit button or by clicking the Adjust Invent
button, selecting the item from the drop-down list, and adding or subtracting units. When the Inventory is
edited, the Estimated Inventory is automatically made equal to the Inventory.
The Estimated Inventory for i-STAT cartridges and PCx glucose test strips will automatically begin updat-
ing with the next analyzer transmission. Click the Refresh button to update the workspace for transmitted
data. Both the Inventory and the Estimated Inventory are updated automatically when orders are
received under the Orders tab.
Periodically, the Estimated Inventory should be updated manually. This is necessary to account for other
consumables as well as for cartridges and strips that are discarded before testing, such as expired inventory.
Click the Estim. Invent. button in the toolbar to adjust the Estimated Inventory.
