Point-of-care Devices – Decentralized Diagnostics
POCT (point-of-care testing) are medical diagnostic tests carried out directly at the point of care. Laboratory medical examinations of all possible types can be done decentralized, which means right at the time and place of patient care, such as hospitals or clinics, and only need one sample. The examined sample materials are most of the time blood, urine, or saliva. At-home tests are also a kind of point-of-care tests (e.g. for patients with diabetes).
Although POC tests are mainly used in hospitals, where it is necessary to make diagnosis as quickly as possible, the use in doctor’s offices, pharmacies, nursing homes, and emergency services is increasing due to their many advantages.
