          This Schedule 13D amends the first paragraph of Item 4 of Amendment
No. 1 ("Amendment No. 1") to the Schedule 13D filed by Agilent Technologies,
Inc. on December 21, 1999.  Capitalized terms used but not defined in this
Amendment shall have the meaning set forth in Amendment No. 1.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

     Agilent Technologies' original purpose in acquiring the Shares was to
maintain a strategic relationship with i-STAT, originally developed by Hewlett-
Packard, in which each company remains independent while working together to
develop and market products. Agilent Technologies now intends to dispose of some
or all of the Shares.  As discussed above, Agilent Technologies acquired the
shares from Hewlett-Packard pursuant to the Spin-off. Hewlett-Packard acquired
the Shares directly from i-STAT. Agilent Technologies' ownership was described
in the letter agreement between Hewlett-Packard and i-STAT, dated October 29,
1999, attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Letter Agreement"), in which i-STAT
                         ---------
approved the transfer of Hewlett-Packard's rights and obligations under the
Series B Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement dated June 23, 1995 between i-STAT
and Hewlett-Packard (the "Stock Purchase Agreement"), filed with this statement
as Exhibit B, to Agilent Technologies. The following summary of Agilent
   ---------
Technologies' rights to purchase i-STAT's equity securities is qualified in its
entirety by the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement which is hereby
incorporated by reference.
