Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the performance of a new point-of-care procalcitonin (PCT) test using the AFIAS-6© system from Boditech, comparing it to the standard Kryptor Compact Plus method.
- Results showed the new PCT assay had greater imprecision than the manufacturer’s claims, yet its limit of detection was consistent with provided data.
- Despite some limitations, the AFIAS-6© PCT assay demonstrated good correlation with the standard method, making it a viable alternative for diagnosing and managing sepsis in emergency departments.
