A -
Q
How easy is iMOST to operate?
AThe workflow is designed to be simple:
· One Q-card
· One press
· One insertion
Usability studies indicate that operators—including elderly patients under supervised settings—can use the system with minimal training
-
Q
How accurate is iMOST compared to central laboratory analyzers?
AClinical studies demonstrate >99% correlation versus established central lab analyzers, using both capillary and venous samples
-
Q
Does iMOST support capillary blood testing?
AYes. Direct finger-to-card transfer is supported. If testing is delayed, EDTA tubes are recommended to maintain sample integrity
-
Q
How much blood is required?
AApproximately 10 µL per test. Both capillary (fingerstick) and venous blood are supported
