Analyzer-to-Analyzer This method is a good choice after the first analyzer has been updated via the JammLite Utility and other analyzers that need updating are not near the PC that was used to run the JammLite Utility.Ģ | Instructions for Updating i-STAT Softwareįollow these steps to update with JammLite Utility Gather Equipment for JammLite Utilityīefore starting the process, make sure all the required equipment is available: Computer with: Update with the Analyzer-to-Analyzer ProcessĬhoosing the Best i-STAT 1 Software Update Method JammLite Utility If you have all the necessary equipment (see page 3), it’s best to update your i-STAT 1 analyzer(s) via the JammLite Utility if they are readily available and near the PC you will use to run JammLite. Once the first i-STAT 1 analyzer has been updated using the JammLite Utility, additional i-STAT 1 analyzers may be updated the same way or by using the Analyzer-to-Analyzer method.ġ Update with JammLite Utility (web or CD-ROM) This process is noted in the diagram below.ġ | Instructions for Updating i-STAT Software JammLite Utility (Software update) Process Overview Whether updating one or more i-STAT 1 analyzers, the JammLite Utility procedure must be used to update the first i-STAT 1 analyzer. The new “JAMS” application software allows the i-STAT 1 analyzer to recognize any newly launched cartridge types and to perform any newly launched features. The new “CLEW” software re-establishes these standardization values and incorporates refinements to the internal quality monitoring system. Each software update includes both “CLEW” software and “JAMS” application software and is delivered twice per year (May and November) available on the Abaxis website or via a CD-ROM. These updates are equivalent to manually adjusting calibration on a traditional laboratory analyzer. Due to the continuous manufacturing process improvements to the i-STAT 1 System, it is necessary to update standardization values from time to time to maintain long-term consistency of performance. Why Do i-STAT 1 Analyzers Need Software Updates? The i-STAT 1 System is designed to eliminate operator influence on delivered results.
This process should take less than 10 minutes for the first i-STAT 1 analyzer, and less time for additional i-STAT 1 analyzers. Instructions for Updating i-STAT® 1 Software Overview These instructions have been created specifically to guide you through the process of updating the software on your i-STAT 1 analyzer(s).
