PointCare Technologies Inc.
History and Overview of PointCare
PointCare Technologies, Inc., a privately-held, FDA registered ISO certified medical device company, was founded in 2002 and is headquartered in Marlborough, Massachusetts. The company develops and markets innovative point-of-care diagnostic products, which target the hundreds of millions of people in resource-challenged developing nations who are living with HIV/AIDS and other life-threatening infections and/or disease. PointCare’s products are designed to meet the efforts initiated by world health agencies, non-government funding organizations and governments that are seeking to provide universal access to quality medical care across geography, economic status and education levels. Such efforts have recently been supported tangibly by multi-billion dollar programs from the US government and private groups such as the Bill and Melinda Gates and Clinton Foundations.
Collaboration
PointCare collaborates with clinicians, scientists, engineers and other thought-leaders around the globe. Our strategic partners include some of the world’s most advanced clinical and diagnostics companies. Our investor team is comprised of innovative people that are committed to PointCare’s mission of providing diagnostic capabilities to resource-limited urban and rural regions.
Distinctions
PointCare is distinct because:
- We provide more diagnostic parameters on each, single instrument
- We bring sanity to reagent cost management – we’ve eliminated cold-chain delivery and refrigerated storage and increased yield of test results delivered to patients
- We’ve also eliminated expensive and lengthy technical laboratory training
- We minimise the biohazard exposure and risk associated with lab work
- We maximise operational safety – the built-in bio-safety standards of our fully automated diagnostic solutions are unique in the field of infectious immunology
- We are committed to providing high levels of customer support even in remote settings
- We’re true innovators – our 21st century technology targeted for resource-limited urban and rural regions including developing countries, is not even available yet on single clinical instruments in industrialised countries
- We make our solutions as affordable as possible
Affordability
Our innovations are based on quality diagnostics that are affordable:
- Low-cost design: the platform configuration of our instruments cuts overall cost
- Multi-purpose: each instrument provides multiple diagnostic capabilities
- Long shelf life: our reagent supply management system dramatically cuts costs
- Labour-saving: automated, hands-off sample preparation and analysis cuts labour costs
Quality
Our management team is committed to providing quality products and services to customers. As a regulated company in the United States, we are required to maintain a Quality Management System. PointCare’s Quality Management System is ISO-certified, and our system and facility are subject to routine inspection by the FDA and annual inspection by our ISO registrar.
