POCT is accomplished through the use of transportable, portable, and handheld instruments (e.g., blood glucose meter) and test kits (e.g., HIV [human immunodeficiency virus] salivary assay). Given the mobility and convenience of these formats, POCT no longer represents an exclusive element of the hospital environment. POCT now encompasses the workplace, home, and disaster environments. 5, record 1, English, - point%2Dof%2Dcare%20testing

L'analyse délocalisée peut être pratiquée au lit du malade, au cabinet médical, dans une pharmacie, un centre de soins, un centre commercial ou par le patient lui-même. [...] En théorie, l'analyse délocalisée présente des avantages : temps de réponse [...] plus court, prise de décisions médicales plus rapide, élimination des problèmes d'identification et de transport, utilisation de volumes de spécimens plus faibles ainsi qu'une motivation plus forte du personnel concerné. 7, record 1, French, - analyse%20hors%20laboratoire
