By Denny Jacob

 

Abbott Laboratories' i-STAT TBI cartridge received clearance from the Food and Drug Administration to be used with whole blood, offering an additional tool for people with suspected concussions.

The healthcare-products manufacturer said the cartridge's ability to use whole blood will provide lab-quality results in 15 minutes.

Abbott said the clearance will enable testing in new healthcare settings beyond hospital emergency departments including urgent care clinics with a certificate to perform moderate complexity tests.
