I-STAT ACT Certification Resources
The ACT I-STAT certification is necessary to obtain a provider ID to run intraoperative ACT tests. This certification is governed by the Point of Care testing office. Users must do an initial certification, annual recertifications, and 6 month interval renewals. If your certification expires, you will need to start over with the initial certification. Sharing your provider ID is not encouraged.
