Inspection-ready audit
Who ran it, on which device, with which lot, when, and where the result went, recorded automatically. Turn a folder of paper into a searchable trail.
Home / For hospital & public-health POCT teams
Every device connected. Every result accounted for.
Point-of-care testing (POCT) coordinators carry the audit, the QC and the inspection day, often with results that still arrive on paper. Catenix connects your point-of-care analysers, captures a complete audit trail, and gets results to the record, so inspection becomes a query rather than an archaeology dig.
How it works on your bench
Every analyser in. One audited record out. Never interpreted.
In
Your POCT analysers
Blood gas, urinalysis, immunoassay and more, over HL7, POCT1-A2 or ASTM, serial or network.
Through
Catenix records & audits
Patient, operator, device and result tied together, fully traceable. Analyser flags stored verbatim.
Out
Into the record
Delivered to the patient record, report, GP or downstream LIS, with a defensible audit trail.
What Catenix does, and why it matters to you
Catenix is connectivity, record-keeping and workflow, not a medical device. It never re-calculates a value, re-classifies a result, assigns criticality, or auto-flags anything. The status and flags it shows are exactly what your analyser produced. Clinical interpretation stays with the clinician and the instrument, keeping your governance clean.
Built around POCT reality
For the day-to-day, and for the inspection.
No transcription, fewer errors
Results flow from the analyser to the record without being keyed in by hand, removing a known source of error and freeing up the team's time.
Lighter than a full LIS
You get connectivity, traceability and QC visibility without the cost, timescale and footprint of an organisation-wide laboratory information system.
What you get
A connected, accountable POCT estate.
Designed by people who have run POCT inside hospital networks, including NHS-aligned governance expectations, through the workflows, the audits, the inspection days.
- Multi-device, multi-site: connect analysers across wards and locations into one view.
- Complete audit trail: every message, every result, every delivery logged for traceability.
- QC visibility: statistical data-quality monitoring alongside patient results, not buried in a spreadsheet.
- Faithful delivery: results to the patient record, report, GP letter and downstream systems.
- Regional data residency (UK hosting available): GDPR-aligned, encrypted in transit and at rest, with role-based access controls.
- Per-team configuration: feature flags and roles tuned to how each service actually works.

What POCT teams ask first.
Can Catenix run alongside our existing LIS or data manager?
Yes. Catenix can deliver results into a downstream LIS over HL7, or act as the audited record for services that sit outside it. A common starting point is the analysers that are currently unconnected.
Does Catenix interpret results or alert on clinical values?
No. Catenix shows the status and flags exactly as the analyser produced them. It does not interpret results, assign criticality or provide clinical decision support. That stays with the clinician and the instrument.
Where is the data hosted?
Catenix offers regional data residency, with UK hosting available. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, GDPR-aligned, with role-based access control and a tamper-evident audit trail.
What does the audit trail record?
Operator, device, lot, time, QC context and where each result was delivered, captured automatically as results flow, and exportable for inspection.
