Abstract

Introduction: Since 2004, the Community Point-of-Care Services Unit at Flinders University has assisted the Mallee Track Health and Community Services (MTH&CS) and its associated general practice at Ouyen in rural Victoria with a point-of-care testing (POCT) service for diabetes management. The POCT devices initially set up at MTH&CS were the DCA 2000 (for measuring HbA1c) and the Cholestech LDX (glucose and lipids). In recent years, further options for performing these point-of-care tests have become available on the Australian market. New POCT devices include the DCA Vantage (HbA1c), Nova StatStrip (glucose) and Abaxis Piccolo Xpress (glucose, lipids and liver enzymes).
