The Northern Territory Point-of-Care Testing Program is a well-established field program that supports quality-assured point-of-care testing on the Abbott i-STAT and HemoCue® WBC DIFF devices for the care of patients with acute and chronic health conditions.
The i-STAT measures multiple pathology test profiles including blood electrolytes, urea, creatinine, glucose, blood gases, lactate, cardiac troponin I and INR. We support i-STAT devices in approximately 80 remote health centres across the Northern Territory.
The recently established WBC DIFF network operates in 20 sites in the NT's Top End and delivers a total white blood cell count, plus a 5-part differential white blood cell count.
The NT Point-of-Care Testing Program and the Flinders University International Centre for Point-of-Care Testing acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the lands and waters of Australia and the Torres Strait.
We respect all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people - their customs and their beliefs. We pay our respects to Elders past and present, with particular acknowledgement to the Kaurna people, the Traditional Custodians of the Adelaide region, on which our offices are located.
