Aliniq Cwi - Customization Workspace For I-Stat; Workspaces - Abbott i-STAT Alinity Operation Manual

3.1 - AlinIQ CWi - Customization Workspace for
This section contains a general description of the CWi (Customization Workspace for i‑STAT). i‑STAT
Alinity instruments can be customized for use in a variety of healthcare settings. Abbott Point of Care
recommends that you read this document in its entirety before logging in to CWi. Specifics on the
functions and features are outlined in the following sections.
CWi is a web-based software application that enables healthcare professionals to manage customization
settings for the i‑STAT Alinity instrument. Customization settings allow the HCO to change the user
experience at the individual instrument level. CWi also manages users that maintain the customization of
the i‑STAT Alinity.
Out-of-the-box, the i‑STAT Alinity is a fully-functioning instrument whose workflow contains no
customization. Customization allows the healthcare organization to change the operating characteristics
of each instrument. For example, the instrument, out-of-the-box, has no reference ranges defined. To
define these ranges and upload them to the instrument(s), a profile must be created.
A profile is a collection of customization options found in categories. Each instrument within a healthcare
organization (HCO) can have a different profile. The specifics of the profile are determined by the needs
of the operating location. As an example, for an instrument used in the NICU it may be necessary to turn
off the instrument's sound to avoid disturbing the infants or to prompt operators to perform required
quality control testing.
Customization also enables the administrator or POCC to establish action ranges based on a variety of
age ranges. In addition, an administrator or POCC may establish actions to be taken when results fall
outside of the reference range. Customization may be used to require operators to record critical
callback documentation on the instrument.

Workspaces

CWi is a collection of three workspaces. The workspaces are:
Manage and Assemble Profiles
Use this workspace to define the instrument's settings for options such as data entry format,
inactivity time interval allowed before powering off, and action to take when the memory is full.
Most of the customization of the i‑STAT Alinity is accomplished using the options in the Profile
workspace.
Manage Users
In this workspace create a list of CWi users, their contact information, and their CWi role (POCC,
POC Super User, HCO Manager).
Manage Healthcare Organization
This workspace displays the name of the customer's healthcare organization.
Details and information for all options are included in the section for each workspace. The workspaces
are shown on the Home page:
