Point Of Care Testing in clinic setting - Torbay NHS Hospital

Case Study - Torbay NHS Hospital (Published in 2009)

In response to government initiatives and targets to reduce waiting times and move diagnostics closer to the patient, services offering improved patient driven point of care testing are escalating. This has subsequently led to increased demand for the ABX Pentra 60C+ where 5-part differential is required – eg oncology clinics and A&E - as laboratory quality results are provided in a POCT setting and importantly within 60 seconds.

This Case Study discusses how the ABX Pentra 60C+ has significantly reduced waiting times in busy hematology clinics by eliminating delays in results delivery.
