Infection & Inflammation Testing

Rapid self-tests and inflammation markers, clear results when they matter most.

Whether you’re responding to symptoms, tracking symptoms over time, or supporting structured screening at a pharmacy or practice, Swiss Point of Care provides the tools for fast, reliable point-of-care testing. Including tests for respiratory infections, gastrointestinal infections, and inflammation markers such as CRP, our systems are designed for clear, guided use, in professional settings and at home.

Depending on the test, results can be read visually on the cassette or supported by an Easy Reader device for standardized reading and documentation in pharmacy and professional screening settings.

Note: Easy Reader workflows and certain markers are intended for professional use in pharmacy and professional screening settings. Intended use is defined per test in the IFU.

Fast answers. Responsible monitoring.

Infections and inflammatory responses rarely wait for a convenient moment. Whether symptoms appear suddenly or you want to track a known concern over time, structured point-of-care testing helps provide timely information, supporting informed decisions and appropriate follow-up.

Rapid self-tests deliver results in minutes from a simple sample, without laboratory infrastructure. Our range covers respiratory and gastrointestinal infection testing, and inflammation markers such as CRP (professional workflows where applicable). Together, these tools form a practical, accessible layer of health monitoring, used in pharmacy and professional screening settings.

The goal is not to replace professional consultation. It is to support it, with measured data, at the right moment.

Designed for use where you are.

At the pharmacy counter, in a practice, or at home.

Pharmacies and professional screening settings use our rapid test systems to support customer screening at the point of care. Doctor practices and screening points within practices use rapid tests and inflammation markers (e.g., CRP) for structured screening workflows. And individuals use our home-use systems to test quickly, privately, and with clear guidance throughout.

For individuals

Test at home with confidence. Clear instructions, familiar formats, and results in minutes. Share findings with your doctor or pharmacist when needed.

For pharmacies & practices

Equip your team with CE-marked point-of-care infection and inflammation testing tools, covering respiratory, gastrointestinal, and systemic markers, supported by clear workflows and documentation.

01

Collect

Sample type depends on the test (e.g., nasal swab or fingerstick). Always follow the Instructions for Use (IFU) for the specific product.

02

Test

Insert the sample into the test device or cartridge. Results appear within minutes, clearly displayed on the cassette. Depending on the assay, Easy Reader workflows can support qualitative results (positive/negative) or quantitative values where applicable. Easy Reader use is intended for pharmacy and professional screening settings.

03

Act

A clear result supports a clear next step, whether that’s reassurance, monitoring, or a conversation with a healthcare professional.

Swiss Point of Care provides CE-marked in-vitro diagnostic systems designed for reliable point-of-care use. Each product is supplied with intended-use information and instructions for use, upporting consistent workflows in pharmacy and professional screening settings, as well as responsible personal monitoring.

Frequently asked questions

What is a rapid self-test?

A rapid self-test is a point-of-care diagnostic tool that detects the presence of a specific marker from a simple sample, collected at home or in a pharmacy setting. Results are typically available within 15 to 30 minutes and are displayed directly on the test device, without laboratory processing.

Swiss Point of Care rapid test systems cover respiratory and gastrointestinal categories, and selected inflammation markers (see product-specific intended use in the IFU).

CRP (C-Reactive Protein) is a biological marker associated with inflammatory responses in the body. CRP testing is used in a range of screening contexts to monitor inflammation levels. Product-specific intended use is described in the relevant IFU. Results should always be considered in the context of professional follow-up.

Swiss Point of Care rapid test systems are CE-marked in-vitro diagnostic medical devices. Product-specific performance information is provided in the Instructions for Use (IFU). As with all point-of-care diagnostic tools, results should be considered alongside clinical context and, where relevant, discussed with a healthcare professional.

Most Swiss Point of Care rapid self-test systems are designed for lay-person use, with clear step-by-step instructions included. Some systems intended for pharmacy and professional screening settings may require basic training for correct workflow adherence. Intended use is specified in the IFU for each product.

Easy Reader devices support standardized result reading and documentation across a broad test range, covering gastrointestinal, respiratory, and systemic markers. They are intended for use in pharmacy and professional screening settings. They do not replace the test itself but support workflow accuracy and documentation. Full assay information is available on the Easy Reader page.

Want to understand rapid self-tests in more detail?

Before selecting a test, it helps to understand what you’re testing for and how results are commonly used. Our health topics and knowledge base pages explain each area in plain language, what the test is designed to detect, when testing is relevant, and how results are used in monitoring contexts.
