STUDY OF PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS OF TSH ON FINECARE™ POCT DEVICE

Objective: Thyroid diseases can be diagnosed and monitored by serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) measurement along with T3 T4 (both free total). However, TSH is used to distinguish between euthyroid hyperthyroid patients. Hence, analysis sensitivity of the assay plays a very significant role. Aims objectives – The aim study was perform precision study, calculate randomerror analytical rangeverification, as well verify accuracy estimation on Finecare™ point care testing (POCT). Methods: experimental evaluation done in preliminary final parts. part calculates random errors, systemic recovery whereas comprises implementation method comparison chemiluminescence immunofluorescence (CLIA). Results: In evaluation, inter-assay-high-value sample had CV% 15 low-value has 13, intra-assay 5.8. test shows 22.22% CV. new Immuno Fluorescence Assay reference (CLIA) correlation coefficient 0.9937. Conclusion: POCT reduces pre-analytical error reducing misidentification patient, specimen, handling. This turn-around time. It helps improve quality care, healthy outcomes, affordability.
