Intended Use
The i-STAT Alinity v Analyzer is an analytical, point of care device designed for
veterinary use only.
The i-STAT Alinity v Analyzer with i-STAT test cartridges is intended for use in
point of care or clinical laboratory settings. The i-STAT Alinity system is intended
for the quantitative measurement of various analytes in arterial, venous and
capillary whole blood.
Principles of Operation
The design enables it to be taken to a convenient location near the point of care.
The analyzer requires i-STAT single-use cartridges containing sensors to perform
quantitative diagnostic testing on whole blood. After the insertion of a filled test
cartridge, the analyzer carefully monitors and controls the testing process. The
only user intervention is in the form of data entry. Data entry is performed via the
touchscreen or by barcode capture. Throughout the cycle, the analyzer performs
a series of quality checks. These checks are designed to monitor the status of the
analyzer and the quality of the cartridge. The analyzer and cartridge together
allow the user to perform clinical testing and administrative tasks related to the
quantification of various analytes in a whole blood sample.
The i-STAT Alinity v Analyzer includes the following subsystems:
• analytical measurement module: interfaces with the i-STAT single-use test
cartridges and controls execution of the measurement test cycle
• user module: a central computing unit with embedded firmware that controls
the user interaction with the device and supports communication with
outside peripherals
• user interface: allows data input, display of information, audio and visual
alerts
• rechargeable battery
Precautions and Limitations
For best results, observe the following precautions to prevent damage to the
i-STAT Alinity v Analyzer and its peripherals, to ensure the safety of the operator
and the integrity of the results.
DO:
• Only use Abaxis supplied accessories, power supplies, power cables, and
consumables specified for the i-STAT Alinity system (includes analyzer, printer
and base station).
• Always use the Base Station for charging the i-STAT Alinity v
Analyzer.
• Connect only the i-STAT Alinity printer to the Base Station
printer port.
• Always place the Analyzer, Base Station, and Printer on a level and stable
surface or in a location where they will not cause injury if dropped.
• Falling equipment may cause injury.
System Components (Continued)

System Components (Continued)
i-STAT Alinity v — User Manual 650-7100 Rev. A13
• Be sure to install all cables and power supplies so they do not pose a trip
hazard. Mount equipment so cables and accessories stay clear of walkways.
• Allow the analyzer temperature to stabilize to operating temperature and
humidity specifications prior to use.
• Check temperature strip for each new shipment of cartridges.
• Verify that the temperature in transit was maintained by reading the
temperature strip included in each shipping container.
• Keep the test cartridge and the analyzer at the temperature of the room
where they are to be used.
• Condensation on a cold cartridge can prevent proper contact with the
analyzer.
• If a printout appears inconsistent with a patient’s clinical assessment, verify that
the correct patient record was selected (patient ID, date and time of test, etc.). If
the record is not correct, select the correct record and print. If the printout still
does not match the data in the analyzer, the printer needs service and the
printed results must not be used. If another printer is available, retry.
• Clinical settings that demand fail-safe testing should have a backup analyzer
or test source available.
• Follow site specific guidelines for integration of wireless devices into the
facility/facility environment.
• Check with authorities for local, state, and/or national requirements for disposal.
DO NOT:
• Attempt to remove a test cartridge during the testing cycle. The force that
would be necessary to do so could damage the analyzer.
• Place metal objects on or near the exposed charging contacts on all peripherals.
• Store batteries in such a manner that they may short circuit each other,
or allow metal objects to touch the battery contacts.
• Expose the battery to heat or fire. Avoid storage in direct sunlight.
• Try to connect any non-electrically isolated equipment to the i-STAT Alinity Base
Station.
• Connect the i-STAT Alinity Base Station to unauthorized medical devices or
other equipment.
• Disturb the analyzer or the printer until printing is complete, since this will
interrupt the printout. If printing is interrupted, realign the analyzer and the
printer, or replace the analyzer in the Base Station to resume printing.

System Components (Continued)
i-STAT Alinity v — User Manual 650-7100 Rev. A14
• Use the analyzer in environmental conditions that exceed the operating
temperature and humidity specifications.
• Make any unauthorized repairs or modifications to this product as this may
cause personal injury or damage to the unit.
NOTE
• The analyzer and its peripherals are not listed by any authority with respect to
suitability for use in oxygen-enriched atmospheres.
• In the event of a battery leaking, do not allow any leakage to come into contact
with the skin or eyes. If contact has been made, wash the aected area with
copious amounts of water and seek medical advice.
• The analyzer can become contaminated with blood during use. Operators
should use standard precautions whenever handling the analyzer, cartridge,
and peripherals to protect themselves from blood-borne pathogens and
pathogens from other body substances. Standard precautions, such as
the wearing of gloves, are designed to protect personnel from blood-borne
pathogens and pathogens from other body substances.
