Dear Collective I wish to access the group wisdom over a use for POCT testing device in breast clinics which I have never come across. The background is that we are having a conversation about POCT devices pre colonoscopy. An email with the following statement cropped up: "The breast clinic also use these fob testing strips to detect blood in nipples that are discharging. We have been using these since i have been here and that must be 8 years now ?" Never come across this before and was stunned. Could I please have your thoughts on this.
