Emergency Department and Point of Care devices
“We understand the importance of point of care testing in Emergency Settings, but reliability cannot be overlooked. Point of care testing helps us get results and reports in a very short time and start the emergency treatment without delay. It is also important to do controls on a regular basis to ensure the tests are accurate which is important for the hospital reputation and credibility. We prefer a point of care device that is easy to operate, does not require very skilled training to operate and gives accurate results in a short period of time. With LumiraDx we are confident in testing, reporting and taking medical decisions for the patient’s better health outcomes.”
Experience with LumiraDx Point of Care device for HbA1c, D-Dimer, INR and CRP.
“We have been using the LumiraDx Platform since March 2022 for D-Dimer, INR and CRP and later for HbA1c and have found the system to be user friendly with an easy interface. The system works well with low sample volumes and has a simple intuitive workflow. We are confident of the accuracy of the tests done and can make treatment decisions without any hesitation. Hence, we highly recommend the use of microfluidic technology based LumiraDx tests for Emergency Settings.”
