5.  Once the 

Preferences window opens, click on the Results tab.

6.  In the 

Custom Reportable Ranges section, scroll down to the analyte row which you wish 

to customize, and click on the corresponding Low or High box for that analyte.  Type in the 

customized Reportable Range value for the Low or High Reportable Range.  Repeat step 6 until 

all customized Reportable Range data have been entered.

Note 6.1: All analytes listed in the table can be customized, with the exception of ACT Celite and 

ACT Kaolin results.

Note 6.2: Users may customize either the upper or lower limit of the Reportable Range, or 

both.  Analytes in the Custom Reportable Ranges table that are left with the default cell value 

of 

-99999.9 or +99999.9 will continue to report the default Reportable Ranges listed in the 

Cartridge and Test Information Sheet section of the i-STAT 1 System Manual.  

Note 6.3: Users may not broaden the displayed Reportable Range beyond the default values.  If 

a value outside the default Reportable Range is entered, the handheld will continue to display 

the default Reportable Range values for that analyte.

Note 6.4: Users should enter range values consistent with the resolution of the analyte/unit 

being customized.  For example, since sodium results are reported in whole numbers on the 

handheld, users should select customized range values in whole numbers.

Note 6.5: Users are responsible for ensuring that the entered Reportable Range values are 

appropriate for the Unit Set in use in the handheld.

7.  Click 

OK and answer YES to the question about changing the Preferences.

8.  Download the handheld(s) to the CDS from a downloader in the location to which the handheld 

is assigned.  This action will upload the chosen customization features into the handheld.  

Repeat step 8 for all handhelds from the same location to be customized.  To customize 

handhelds from other locations for the same features, return to step 1.
