At our NICU, we have newly introduced the Yumizen M100 Banalyst（hereinafter referred to as Yumizen M100）as a point of care testing（POCT）device for CRP measurement. Prior to that, we compared the Latessier M POCT analyzer with the central laboratory analyzer, evaluating and examining the correlation of the CRP value and the error of measurement. From April to August 2021, a total of 76 tests were performed on 27 cases measured by Yumizen M100 and Latessier M, and a total of 57 tests were performed on 23 cases measured by all three analyzers, including the one from the central laboratory. The CRP value measured by Yumizen M100 showed a very strong correlation with the value measured by Lattesier M and the central laboratory respectively（r ＝ 0.977, 0.997）. When the central laboratory CRP value was compared with Yumizen M100 and Latessier M, the measurement of error was significantly smaller using the Yumizen M100（0.044 vs. 0.079, p ＝ 0.029）. The introduction of POCT analyzers that are quick, simple, highly accurate, and capable of measuring small quantities of sample was considered to be useful in the NICU.
