Dear all,
Collective POCT brain...
POCT RSV and flu season.
- Has anyone done a risk assessment yet for potential presence of covid and a pipetting step?
- and then decided not to do this test at POCT?
- or decided the risk can be mitigated and doing it?
I am concerned about the number of RSV tests there are out there - lateral flows etc - that can lurk around even them most established of POCT Trusts.... that could pose a risk.
Thoughts?
Many thanks
Katy

Hi,
I would still go with the Pro II. Annoying though these issues have been, and it would have been nice for Roche to tell me about them sooner, I am still happy with the device.
My staff like them too.
