1. Fast
The main purpose of POCT is to get experimental results faster. Advances in diagnostic and assistive technology, awareness of the disease, and improved treatment levels are the main reasons for POCT's growing interest (financial pressures are a secondary factor). These advances have brought some diseases closer to eradication and others to earlier diagnosis and better treatment.
For the diagnosis of AMI patients, if the clinical manifestations are highly suspicious and the ECG manifestations have no decisive diagnostic significance, the application of the myocardial injury marker cTnI bedside diagnostic reagent can make the diagnosis of such acute patients and the determination of treatment plans easier and more accurate. . The whole process only takes 15 minutes.
2. Simple to use
Simple operation and easy use are another feature of POCT. POCT has become part of the diagnostic system due to its ease of use; POCT assumes the functions of a laboratory without the need for traditional hospital laboratory equipment. POCT can be done either in a doctor's office or in a moving car. POCT can serve patients in a full range of 24 hours regardless of time and location.
3. Save overall cost
The biggest problem facing experimenters is controlling the cost of diagnosis. But the results always reduce the cost of individual tests, not the overall cost of a patient's visit. From the perspective of "single test cost", POCT is relatively high; but in many cases, the application of POCT can not only improve the experimental results but also reduce the occupation of resources, the time spent in hospitalization of patients, the sampling time, and the occupation time of medical staff.
