i-STAT hs-TnI Cartridge

Abbott has issued a recall for specific lots of i-STAT hs-TnI cartridges due to manufacturing variability. These cartridges may produce falsely elevated cardiac troponin I results because of reduced interference mitigation. There is no evidence of falsely low test results.

Why it matters: Frontline staff should stop using affected cartridge lots to avoid receiving inaccurate cardiac troponin I test results.
