Ascentry POC Controller

Unify and elevate your POCT operations

POC Controller brings every point-of-care device, workflow, and user together in one secure, vendor-neutral platform. It connects decentralized instruments to your laboratory systems, enforces operator certification, and centralizes quality control so every POCT result meets core-lab standards.

With real-time alerts, LIS integration, and intuitive dashboards, POC Controller streamlines workflows, accelerates deployment, and reduces support needs. It transforms scattered POCT data into clear, actionable insights, helping laboratories, health systems, IVD partners, and LIS providers deliver safer, more consistent, and more efficient point-of-care testing across all locations.

Five ways POC Controller strengthens your operations

  • Save time

    No more spending hours chasing device issues or piecing together QC updates. See remote connections in real time, receive instant alerts, and resolve problems before they impact care, freeing you from manual follow-up and keeping daily POCT operations running smoothly.
