The price of an Abbott i-STAT blood gas analysis cartridge varies considerably depending on the specific panel type, order volume, healthcare procurement contracts, and geographic region of purchase. Individual cartridges—such as those used for blood chemistry, electrolyte tests, or arterial blood gas evaluations—typically translate to roughly $10 to $25 or more per single-use disposable unit when purchased in bulk hospital packaging configurations containing twenty-five units. Institutional pricing negotiated directly with medical suppliers or group purchasing organizations ensures that clinics and emergency departments receive volume-discounted rates for these vital, rapid-result point-of-care diagnostic tools.
