Precautions and Limitations

For best results, observe the following precautions to prevent damage to the instrument, to ensure the
safety of the operator and the integrity of the results.
DO:
• use care when placing the instrument on a surface that is unstable, such as a patient bed. Placing the
instrument on an unstable surface may cause the instrument to fall. Place the instrument on a
tabletop or counter to minimize the likelihood of a fall.
• always place the instrument and peripherals on a stable surface or in a location where they will not
cause injury if dropped.
• use only the accessories and consumables specified or supplied for this system by Abbott Point of
Care.
• protect patients from nosocomial infections by disinfecting the instrument periodically and whenever
blood is spilled or transferred to an instrument. For more information, see the i‑STAT Alinity Quick
Reference Guide.
• follow site specific guidelines for integration of wireless devices into a hospital environment.
• keep the cartridge and the instrument at the temperature of the room where they are to be used.
Condensation on a cold cartridge can prevent proper contact with the instrument.
• check with authorities for local, state, and/or national requirements for disposal.
