Focusing on obtaining accurate results

When it comes to determining the medical needs of the patient in a short period of time, high-proximity Point-of-Care Testing (POCT) is an effective method. Without the need for main laboratory analyzers, POCT uses integrated calibration to pinpoint the accurate results needed by medical professionals to provide an improved list of procedures and treatments that focus on the patient’s objective data.

Here is a list of the tests we can cater to:

  • Hemoglobin/Hematocrit
  • Blood Glucose
  • Activated clotting time
  • Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)
  • Rapid HIV
  • Pregnancy Testing (hCG)
  • Oxygen Saturation
  • Lipid profile
  • Fecal occult blood
  • Rapid strep
  • And More

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of medical conditions can be detected through POCT?
POCT can detect and monitor conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, infections, clotting disorders, and pregnancy. It is frequently used for blood glucose monitoring, lipid profiling, thyroid function testing, and rapid infectious disease detection (e.g., HIV, strep throat, and influenza). The ability to provide immediate results helps in early diagnosis and timely medical intervention.

Are POCT results as accurate as laboratory test results?
POCT devices are designed for high accuracy and follow strict calibration and quality control standards. While results are reliable for immediate decision-making, some complex cases or borderline results may require confirmation through laboratory testing for a more detailed analysis. Advancements in POCT technology continue to improve accuracy, making it a trusted diagnostic tool.

Are POCT devices and procedures regulated for accuracy and safety?
Yes, POCT devices are regulated by authorities such as the FDA and CLIA (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments) to ensure accuracy, safety, and reliability. These devices undergo regular calibration, quality control checks, and performance evaluations to meet medical standards. Compliance with these regulations ensures that POCT results are dependable for clinical use.

What are the advantages of POCT for patients with chronic conditions?
POCT allows for frequent and real-time monitoring, helping patients with diabetes, heart disease, and thyroid disorders manage their conditions more effectively. Immediate test results enable faster treatment adjustments, reducing complications and improving long-term health outcomes. This convenience eliminates the need for repeated visits to centralized labs, making chronic disease management more accessible.

What impact does POCT have on patient care and overall health outcomes?
By providing rapid and accurate diagnostic results, POCT facilitates early detection, timely treatment, and personalized care, leading to better health outcomes. It helps reduce disease progression, hospital stays, and unnecessary treatments, improving efficiency in healthcare settings. Additionally, faster diagnostics enhance patient satisfaction by minimizing wait times and enabling quicker medical interventions.
