NHS-Purchasing & Supply Agency 2009-PSA Assays

Evidence review- Point of care total PSA assays February 2010

Evaluation report-Total PSA assays February 2010


I've only just seen these reports and it would appear,as expected, that PSAwatch may be used for initial testing only.......as far as the UK is concerned anyway!

My view from reading both the review and report is that the Mediwatch PSAwatch/Bioscan system offers an accurate method of gaining PSA values for initial testing purposes but not as accurate as the lab based tests which the NHS states as their preferred method.

Overall I'm happy with the findings and very happy to see Mediwatch as a leader in the POC PSA Assay sector.I believe the Mediwatch PSAwatch/Bioscan system will generate great interest on a global scale,especially for initial testing with a very easy to use and portable system and hence Inverness Medical's interest.
