Use of the Abbott i‐ <scp>STAT</scp> ®1 point of care device for <scp>hCG</scp> quantification in early pregnancy
All hCG results from the i-STAT®1 analyzer were clinically concordant with the central laboratory method, supporting its application in an EPU setting using established clinical decision thresholds. However, further verification through larger-scale studies is necessary before the i-STAT®1 analyzer can be integrated into clinical practice.
