Objective: To characterize the influence of Gelofusine (succinylated gelatin) on the performance of point-of-care testing (POCT) for human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) devices.

Design And Methods: Three brands of urine and urine/serum hCG POCT devices were verified.

Results: Succinylated gelatin affected the performance of the control band in the QuickVue hCG POCT devices. Alternative devices were not affected. The hCG test performance is not influenced.

Conclusions: Gelofusine affects specifically the quality control performance of the QuickVue hCG POCT devices.
