User Interface
i‑STAT Alinity is designed to maximize the user experience. The design of the user interface was guided
by Human Factors Engineering principles.
Both the size and resolution of the display have been increased to improve readability. The instrument
employs a five inch diagonal backlit LCD in landscape orientation.
The keypad was implemented with a resistive touchscreen, enabling a user wearing multilayer surgical
gloves to perform data entry. A full QWERTY and numeric touchscreen keyboard enhances the
informational content that can be entered and stored with a test.
i‑STAT Alinity is equipped with a 1D/2D barcode scanner.
i‑STAT Alinity features several connectivity options. The instrument contains dual band (2.4GHz, 5GHz)
IEEE802.11 a/b/g/n wireless module. Connectivity to the i‑STAT Alinity portable printer is available via
infrared communication or through wired connection to the printer employing the Base Station.
