the CDS
Rev. Date: 07/18/06
The PC on which the CDS software resides must meet specifications
provided by Abbott Point of Care Inc. and should be installed following the PC
manufacturer's directions. Install the printer if applicable.
A license key is required to install the Central Data Station software. The
license key ensures that the end user agrees to the License Agreement which is
displayed during installation. To obtain the license key, follow the instructions on
the screen and listed below.
1. Insert the CDS CD and the installation will begin automatically.
2. Click next> in the Welcome dialog.
3. The
End-User License Agreement will be displayed. Read the
agreement and if you agree to abide by the agreement, click yes to
proceed with the installation. If you do not agree, click no to abandon
the installation.
4. Record the serial number of the CDS displayed in the Enter License Key
dialog.
5. Go to the Abbott Point of Care Inc. web site at http://www.
abbottpointofcare.com and click on the i-STAT panel in the lower left
corner of the screen. Click on the link under Cds Key generator in the
right hand column. You can also access this link directly at http://www.
abbottpointofcare.com/cdslicense. (In the USA, the license key can
also be obtained from Technical Support.)
6. If you are already registered, skip to step 8. If you are not registered, fill
out the required information, select Basic Access, and click register.
7. Go back to the i-STAT web site as directed in step 5.
8. Enter your username and password and click Login.
9. You may now enter the serial number recorded in step 4, and click
submit.
10. If successful, a message will appear indicating that your key has been
e-mailed to the address with which you registered.
11. Obtain the key from the e-mail and enter it in the space provided on the
CDS.
12. Click next to proceed with the installation.
The use of other software that was not provided as part of the system on the
same PC with the Central Data Station software may compromise the system,
including permanent loss of patient records.
During installation, the CDS must be customized to properly communicate
with i-STAT 1 Downloaders and Downloader/Rechargers, i-STAT IR Links and
Philips Medical Systems Blood Analysis Modules throughout the hospital. The
procedure to customize the CDS is described under the Customization section
below.

Questions and answers
scanner doesn't work
The Abbott i-STAT 1 scanner may not be working due to several possible reasons:
1. Batteries Dead – If the batteries are depleted, the scanner will not function. Replace or recharge the batteries.
2. Keypad Not Responding – If the keypad is unresponsive, it may prevent the scanner from operating.
3. Internal Start Switch Broken – A faulty internal start switch could cause the scanner to malfunction.
4. Incorrect Barcode Scanning – Ensure that the correct barcode is being scanned, specifically the barcode on the cartridge portion pack, not the cartridge box.
5. Scanner Not Activated – The scanner only operates when the Scan key is pressed.
6. Laser Beam Not Emitting – The laser beam automatically turns off after 3-4 seconds or after a successful scan. Ensure the scanner is aimed correctly.
7. Hardware Malfunction – If the problem persists after troubleshooting, the analyzer may need servicing or repair.
