Advantages of POCT:
· Fast: Compared with traditional diagnosis, POCT simplifies the steps of sample transportation and processing, does not require complex processing of samples, and only takes a few minutes or tens of minutes to obtain test results, which greatly shortens the diagnosis time and provides patients with Save time for doctor visits and emergency treatment.
· Ease of use: POCT has no specific requirements for operators, and medical staff or patients can use it after receiving the instrument manual or simple training, so it is popular in primary hospitals, outpatient clinics, and family settings.
· Portable: POCT equipment is generally small in size and comes with its own battery. It is highly portable and is not limited by any time or place. It can serve patients 24 hours a day and provide convenience for applications in complex scenarios such as disaster rescue sites and entry-exit quarantine.
· Different from the complexity of large-scale testing instruments in the laboratory, POCT instruments are generally small in size and integrated with internal functions. At the same time, with the development of technology, POCT instruments are developing towards full-automatic, intelligent, and high-throughput trends. POCT equipment requires simple procedures, high detection accuracy, the ability to continuously measure multiple samples and perform multiple analyzes at the same time, automatically save data records, automatically upload test results, and self-check faults, etc., which puts higher demands on the main control board of the equipment. need.
Hardware recommendation:
· Qiyang provides the IAC-IMX8MM-CM core board based on the quad-core platform as the main control board of the medical POCT instrument. The core board is based on the NXP i.MX8M mini 4*Cortex-A53+Cortex-M4 processor, with high performance and low power consumption , the main frequency can reach 1.8GHz, and it can be equipped with large-capacity memory to provide sufficient hardware resource support for medical equipment.
· Provide powerful multimedia functions, support multiple forms of hardware codec, 4-channel MIPI high-definition display interface, to meet the needs of various medical equipment HMI display;
· It has rich interface resources, dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, CAN, I2C, RS232, USB and other data communication interfaces, which can meet the access of various POCT peripherals;
· Support 3G/4G, Wi-Fi and other wireless communication methods, upload the test results to the cloud, realize remote test result analysis and remote diagnosis and treatment by connecting the POCT management system and the hospital HIS/LIS system; support equipment self-test, operation status, fault alarm through Wirelessly upload to the management background to realize remote maintenance of equipment and OTA remote upgrade;
· Support various operating systems, open underlying source code and technical support, reduce development difficulty and cost, and allow customers to focus on upper-level applications for secondary development;
· Facing the strict hardware requirements of medical equipment, industrial-grade design can be selected to ensure the stability of equipment operation; the advantages such as long life cycle prove that the core board is an ideal choice for the main control of POCT in vitro diagnostic equipment.
· The implementation of national policies such as hierarchical diagnosis and treatment, medical device import substitution, and the prosperity of the medical market triggered by the new crown epidemic have brought unprecedented opportunities to the POCT market. In the future, with the further development of biochips, biosensors, photoelectric analysis and other technologies in the medical field, the detection of POCT products will become more accurate and efficient, and the application scenarios will become more and more extensive.
