Despite its advantages, POCT has some limitations:
Limited Scope: POCT devices are often designed to detect only a specific set of substances, limiting their overall utility. Potential for Error: User error in administering the test or interpreting results can lead to inaccurate diagnoses. Regulatory Issues: Some POCT devices may not be approved for use in all jurisdictions, posing legal and compliance challenges. Interference: Certain substances or conditions can interfere with test results, leading to inaccuracies.
