OPERATOR COMPETENCY NOTIFICATION ON THE
i-STAT 1 HANDHELD
OVERVIEW
As part of the on-going READi initiative (Responds, Enhances, And Delivers Innovation), Abbott
Point of Care (APOC) has released a new Operator Competency Notification feature for the i-STAT 1
handheld. This new feature allows a system administrator (e.g. Point of Care Coordinator or Laboratory
Administrator) to define a time period in which the operator will be notified by a message on the i-STAT 1
handheld display of their competency expiration date. By default, the feature is turned off.
Functionality
The system administrator will define a time period of notification in the Customization Workspace of
the data management system. When the operator scans or enters their operator ID in the i-STAT 1
handheld, if their competency certification will expire within the timeframe set by the system administrator,
a message will appear on the handheld display alerting them of the expiration date.
GENERAL NOTES AND CONSIDERATIONS
1. The Operator Competency Notification feature is only available on the i-STAT 1 handheld, and not
the i-STAT Portable Clinical Analyzer (i-STAT 200 series model).
2. In order to create Operator Competency Notifications, users must have the i-STAT 1 handheld
and either the Central Data Station Version 5 or i-STAT/DE data management applications. This
feature is not customizable through the i-STAT 1 handheld keypad.
