Target values are specific to the i-STAT System. Results may differ if used with other methods.
If a result for a level is outside the range published in the Value Assignment Sheet, two additional cartridge
runs should be performed on this level and the three results averaged and then compared to the Value
Assignment Sheet range. If this average value is still outside the acceptable range, see the Troubleshooting
section below for additional procedures to follow.
