Abstract
A point-of-birth system and instrument, biochemical cartridge, and methods for newborn screening is disclosed. Namely, a point-of-birth system is provided that includes a point-of-birth instrument for receiving and processing a biochemical cartridge for performing newborn screening. Further, a portable smart device, such as a smartphone or tablet, is in communication with point-of-birth instrument, wherein the smart device may include a newborn screening (NBS) mobile app. In one example, the point-of-birth system and point-of-birth instrument support newborn biological screening only. However, in another example, the point-of-birth system and point-of-birth instrument support both newborn biological screening and newborn physiological screening.
