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 Given the mobility and convenience of these formats, POCT no longer represents an exclusive element of the hospital environment.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. 8, record 1, English, - point%2Dof%2Dcare%20testing
