This study determines the analytical characteristics of the i-STAT cardiac troponin I assay (cTnI; i-STAT, Princeton, NJ), a 10-min POC assay, designed to be performed at the bedside. ⋯ The i-STAT cTnI assay is a sensitive and precise monitor of cTnI, poised for point-of-care/near bedside clinical utilization for triage, diagnostics and risk management of acute coronary syndrome patients.
