Treatment and study plan

Point-of-care test for CRP

Device

Device: C Reactive Protein (CRP) measurement on capillary blood using a point-of-care test to determine the CRP level in the blood

Primary outcomes

  1. Technical accuracy

    Time frame: 2 month

    Correlation between the results of the Point-of-care C Reactive Protein device and the results of the laboratory

Secondary outcomes

  1. User-friendliness

    Time frame: 2 months

    Evaluation of the user-friendliness on a five point Likert-scale. Following items are scored: device start-up, test duration, sample size, test characteristics, calibration, measuring range, handling of test tubes, filling of the capillary, placing the test cartridge, test recording and additional material usage.
