1 Point of Care
Testing
Point-of-care testing (POCT) is a
powerful concept that has been
introduced in the area of critical care
settings to provide patients with
decentralized, patient-centric
healthcare. Improved clinical results
may result from quick blood
measurements, especially of
electrolytes and blood gases. An
advantage of POCT, according to
Kapoor et al., is that it has a shorter

…..in short, PALL
myPALL is a handheld blood gas analyzer that provides
24/7 SpO2 accurate blood gas, electrolyte and critical care biochemistry
and Pulse results in just a few minutes. It combines lactate, LDH, blood
Monitoring gas and electrolyte analysis in one device. Easy to use and
portable, myPALL delivers laboratory quality and reliable
results providing diagnosis for any critical situations.
How it Started? One problem in the hospital setting I’ve noticed in the course of my clinical
internship is the delay in acquisition of samples and in relaying of rejected specimens, as well as test results. This
problem becomes more crucial especially for patients under critical care and in emergency settings. An important element
for these patients are their rapidly deteriorating physiological status as denoted in their vital signs. But, vital signs alone
does not give a clear picture of what is happening. Biochemical indicators such as electrolytes, lactate, LDH, and blood
gas, reflects the patient's current overall physiology. The problem lies in this, currently these indicators can only be tested
through blood inside the lab. This is where this invention comes in. Meet myPALL , the all around critical care partner.
