Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Point-of-care test for CRP	Point-of-care test for CRP	Device: C Reactive Protein (CRP) measurement on capillary blood using a point-of-care test to determine the CRP level in the blood

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Technical accuracy	2 month	Correlation between the results of the Point-of-care C Reactive Protein device and the results of the laboratory

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
User-friendliness	2 months	Evaluation of the user-friendliness on a five point Likert-scale. Following items are scored: device start-up, test duration, sample size, test characteristics, calibration, measuring range, handling of test tubes, filling of the capillary, placing the test cartridge, test recording and additional material usage.
