06 Jan 2012 • by Natalie Aster

Diagnostic tests performed outside the central laboratory or decentralized testing is generally known as point-of-care (POC). Over the years, the increasing introduction of transportable, portable, and handheld instruments has resulted in the migration of POC testing from the hospital environment to a range of medical environments including the workplace, home, disaster care and most recently, convenience clinics.

According to the report “Worldwide Point of Care Diagnostic Test Markets” by Kalorama Information, moreover POC test devices have contributed significantly to the growth of the overall diagnostics market over the past 10 years. As more diagnostic manufacturers pursue CLIA waiver status for their POC devices and CE Mark for POC or self-use, more decentralized test venues are investing in non-waived rapid tests and instruments. POC testing appears to be headed for an even bigger role in diagnosis and monitoring patient care and the world market for POC tests has shown consistent growth, a trend that is expected to continue.
