Abbott i-Stat CG8+

This used Abbott i-Stat CG8+ system provides an expanded point-of-care testing panel that includes blood gases, electrolytes, and lactate measurements in a single handheld cartridge format. The CG8+ configuration is favored in critical care and emergency settings where a broader set of values, such as sodium, potassium, ionized calcium, and lactate alongside pH and blood gases, is needed to make quick, informed treatment decisions. This comprehensive panel reduces the need for multiple cartridge types during a single patient encounter. Using the i-Stat handheld analyzer platform, the CG8+ cartridge delivers laboratory quality results in just a few minutes from a small blood sample, supporting fast clinical decision making at the bedside. This is particularly valuable in intensive care units, operating rooms, and emergency departments where speed and accuracy directly affect patient outcomes. The portability of the handheld system also allows it to be used across various hospital departments without requiring dedicated lab space. This unit has been inspected and is in working order, offered here as a used, cost effective option for institutions expanding their point-of-care chemistry and blood gas testing capabilities. Buyers should verify cartridge availability and expiration status as well as compatibility with their existing i-Stat handheld devices. It is a practical choice for facilities seeking to broaden their diagnostic testing menu without the expense of new equipment.
