Additional Considerations

~ Two benchtop POCT devices have been indicated, with additional devices requiring added space and services.

The alarm is to provide alerts where 24-hour monitoring is undertaken, within the unit and/or remotely. ~ Type and extent of storage to suit testing requirements, including ambient temperature storage for cartridges. ~ Ensure adequate lighting over workspace. ~ Power requirements (type/quantity) to be considered to suit equipment and service requirements.
