Abstract
- Quality assurance (QA) in point-of-care testing (POCT) is an important issue for organizing POCT structures within the healthcare sector. In Germany, only one device needs to participate in an external QA program, if the responsible core laboratory is supervising internal quality controls of all other identical POCT devices. This flexible definition of quality control (QC) testing is in line with the fundamentals of ISO 22870 and the ISO 15189, but can only be regarded as a minimum requirement.
