Point-of-care testing (POCT) refers to testing at or near the site of patient care whenever medical care is required. POCT devices are used for performing various diagnostic applications like analysis of blood for measuring lipid profile, glucose, cholesterol levels, ALT, TC/HDL, TC, AST, TC-HDL-GLU, hs-CRP values, perform electrolyte and enzyme analysis, test for drugs of abuse and for infectious diseases, and for pregnancy testing. Generally used in physicians’ offices, hospitals, clinical laboratories and patient homes, these analyzers deliver quick and accurate test results for fast clinical decision-making. Leading laboratory equipment suppliers offer quality POC analyzers from top manufacturers. Siemens point-of-care analyzers are designed to offer lab-quality performance and drive patient compliance at the point-of-care.
