Real-world performance of a single-use, analyser-free, molecular point-of-care test for COVID-19 used in the emergency department: Results of a prospective trial (ED-POC)
The Veros COVID-19 test generated results in near real-time, around 1 h sooner than rapid, near-patient, analyser-based PCR, and accuracy was excellent for samples with moderate and high viral loads. The Veros test represents a step-change in molecular diagnostics for infection and could significantly reduce time to results and improve patient management in EDs and other settings.
