i-STAT Ceramic Conditioning Cartridge(CCC)

The i-STAT Ceramic Conditioning Cartridge consists of an aluminum base that supports a ceramic “strip.” The strip is a white strip of Alumina that is held down by a brass retainer and retainer screw. The ceramic cartridge may be used up to 50 times before the strip is worn and needs to be rotated or up to 200 times before the strip must be replaced.
