IDENTIFICATION OF THE NEW i-STAT 1 DOWNLOADER/RECHARGER
Previously, there were two separate versions of the i-STAT 1 Downloader/Recharger; one with serial con-
nection capabilities to the Data Manager (DRS) and one with network connection capabilities to the Data
Manager (DRN). To distinguish the new DRC from the previous DRS and DRN downloader/recharger
versions, look at the Model Number label on the underside of the downloader/recharger. The new down-
loader/recharger will have a MN DRC-300 (Figure 1).
