Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Technical accuracy | 2 month | Correlation between the results of the Point-of-care C Reactive Protein device and the results of the laboratory |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| User-friendliness | 2 months | Evaluation of the user-friendliness on a five point Likert-scale. Following items are scored: device start-up, test duration, sample size, test characteristics, calibration, measuring range, handling of test tubes, filling of the capillary, placing the test cartridge, test recording and additional material usage. |
