Face-to-face counselling enables education, helps to engage patients, and leads to increased compliance with treatment plans.

POCT has proven more effective in reducing HbA1c than other testing methods. Small sample size, rapid results, and the ability to process hemolysed samples mitigates pre-analytical errors and reduces patient discomfort from re-sticks.

POC Atellica DCA  Analyzer Center three modules

Connect and operate up to three test modules with a single display to accommodate increasing testing volume.

POCT Informatics enables remote device monitoring, centralised compliance, operator management, and QC reporting. Seamlessly and securely transmit results to LIS/HIS/EHR systems with secure BLUETOOTH, Wireless or Wired connections.
