APRIL 2009 UPDATE TO i-STAT/DE (VERSION 2.0)
DO NOT INSTALL i-STAT/DE
WITHOUT FIRST CONSULTING YOUR
DATA MANAGEMENT VENDOR
Important: Do not update to a new version of i-STAT/DE without first contacting your data
management vendor. It is important that data management vendors be involved in the updates
because:
1. Your data manager must first validate the new version of i-STAT/DE for use with their
system. This can take some time after Abbott Point of Care releases a new version of
i-STAT/DE.
2. Restart of their systems may be required to resume processing data after an update to
i-STAT/DE.
3. DO NOT upload the i-STAT/DE update file to the i-STAT/DE server if you do not wish to
immediately update i-STAT/DE.
