Clinical Application¶
POCT Workflow Design¶
A well-designed veterinary POCT workflow delivers same-visit results:
Diagnostic Panels by Presentation¶
| Presentation | Recommended Panel |
|---|---|
| Acute vomiting/diarrhea (puppy) | CPV Ag + CRP |
| Fever of unknown origin (cat) | SAA + FeLV/FIV |
| PU/PD | SDMA + T4 + cortisol |
| Cough/dyspnea | NT-proBNP |
| Breeding management | Progesterone + relaxin |
Result Interpretation Framework¶
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1. Confirm pre-analytical quality | Correct sample, no hemolysis |
| 2. Compare to reference range | Species-specific |
| 3. Correlate with clinical signs | No test is standalone |
| 4. Monitor trends | Serial testing for therapy response |
Common Interferences¶
| Interference | Mitigation |
|---|---|
| Hemolysis | Recollect; instrument flags |
| Lipemia | Fast patient; follow IFU |
| Hook effect (very high analyte) | Dilute and retest |

FAQ¶
How do I interpret a borderline result? Compare to the grey zone, correlate clinically, and recheck in 2–4 weeks where indicated.
Can I use whole blood? Yes for most assays — verify against the specific IFU.
For reference ranges, see the Data Hub.
