Putting a POC Troponin to the Test

Independent verification shows strong precision and concordance with lab assays across clinical thresholds.

1

The TriageTrue point-of-care high-sensitivity troponin I assay demonstrated acceptable precision and minimal analytical interference.
2

The assay showed strong concordance with laboratory-based assays, with correlation coefficients ranging from 0.89 to 0.99.
3

Intra-assay precision coefficients of variation were reported as 25% and 12.2% at specific mean concentrations.
4

Hemolysis caused minimal interference, exceeding the manufacturer's claim, with acceptable limits met in all secondary analyzer comparisons.
5

The assay is deemed suitable for clinical use, including emergency and low-resource settings, supporting its incorporation into clinical pathways.
