Point of Care Testing

Point of care testing (POCT) is increasingly recognised as a vital part of modern healthcare delivery in New Zealand and overseas. POCT helps reduce turnaround times by providing diagnostic results near the patient, enabling more immediate clinical decision making, particularly in urgent or decentralized settings such as emergency departments, rural clinics and primary care. National contracting initiatives are underway to support widespread procurement of POCT equipment and consumables for hospitals and community settings.

Translyx is introducing reliable and clinically appropriate POCT solutions that are designed to integrate with existing care pathways and health information systems. These technologies help clinicians diagnose and monitor conditions such as acute illness, metabolic abnormalities and infection without the delays of central laboratory processing. By expanding access to high quality POCT across diverse care environments, Translyx supports more efficient patient care delivery and contributes to reducing health inequities, especially for patients in rural or resource limited settings.
