5. Once the Preferences window opens, click on the Results tab.
6. In the Custom Reportable Ranges section, scroll down to the analyte row which you wish
to customize, and click on the corresponding Low or High box for that analyte. Type in the
customized Reportable Range value for the Low or High Reportable Range. Repeat step 6 until
all customized Reportable Range data have been entered.
Note 6.1: All analytes listed in the table can be customized, with the exception of ACT Celite and
ACT Kaolin results.
Note 6.2: Users may customize either the upper or lower limit of the Reportable Range, or
both. Analytes in the Custom Reportable Ranges table that are left with the default cell value
of -99999.9 or +99999.9 will continue to report the default Reportable Ranges listed in the
Cartridge and Test Information Sheet section of the i-STAT 1 System Manual.
Note 6.3: Users may not broaden the displayed Reportable Range beyond the default values. If
a value outside the default Reportable Range is entered, the handheld will continue to display
the default Reportable Range values for that analyte.
Note 6.4: Users should enter range values consistent with the resolution of the analyte/unit
being customized. For example, since sodium results are reported in whole numbers on the
handheld, users should select customized range values in whole numbers.
Note 6.5: Users are responsible for ensuring that the entered Reportable Range values are
appropriate for the Unit Set in use in the handheld.
7. Click OK and answer YES to the question about changing the Preferences.
