Point-of-care diagnostics are the tests your team runs the same day a patient walks in — no lab, no wait. HofCare stocks rapid antigen tests for COVID-19, Flu A/B, RSV, and Strep A, along with multiplex combo panels that return several results from a single swab. These are the categories that spike hardest during flu and RSV season, and they're the ones we watch most closely for availability.

Hospitals, clinics, urgent care centers, and public health programs rely on this category to make same-visit treatment decisions instead of waiting on outside lab turnaround. It's also one of the first things a new facility asks about when comparing distributors, because a stockout here doesn't just cost a sale — it costs a patient's next appointment.

We work directly with manufacturers on this line specifically, which matters most in the months when everyone else is chasing the same allocation. Order by the case for a single site or by the pallet for a health system, and we'll flag lead times honestly if a specific test starts running tight.
