NT-proBNP Testing

Good morning,
I have been tasked with finding a test platform to perform NT-proBNP testing in the emergency department. Is anyone doing this in their facility? If so is it a lab test or POCT done in the emergency department? I have RALS and did see Pathfast as a NT-proBNP device with a RALS interface. Any comments on that platform? The only other platform I have found so far is the RAMP NT-proBNP by Response Biomedical with LIS connectivity capabilities. Any info and advice would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

We run a NT-ProBNP in our main lab not as a point of care test. I know there are other test platforms available. We use Siemens I think they have a point of care platform that runs it but I'm not 100% sure. Stratus® CS Acute Care™ NT-proBNP assay is what I found that sounds like POC test. Good luck!
