Hi,
We've also been piloting the Orion QuikRead go, previously supplied in the UK by Oxford Biosystems but now by Roche, in our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
Not sure if this would cause any issues for use in GP surgeries but the wrCRP kit is currently unavailable and Roche are unable to confirm when it will be.
Kind regards,
Kerry

They're going to use the "Roche" Quikread for a formal trial period initially, and hope to write it up in about 9 months time (6 month trial) Mark

Hi Julie,
Not in a GP surgery (yet), but I have been helping with it's introduction into an Urgent Care Centre (specifically for assisting in the process of trying to differentiate Viral and Bacterial LRTI, particularly in children as per NICE), if that would be of any help. Not yet up and running, but getting close!
Regards
Mark

Dear All
Is anyone at present managing POCT CRP testing in GP surgeries and would be willing to share their experience of this.
Does anyone use the Cube for CRP testing?
