Advantages are clear

•   No need for external liquid quality control or extra
    strips.

•   No need for separate device to check electronic
    controls.

•   Test Strips do not require refrigeration.

•   Small one drop (15µL) sample size.

•   Reduces paperwork and materials cost

•   Simple interface, easy to learn and use.

•   Ensures reliability on each and every test.

•   Entire test procedure requires fewer steps.

•   Small one drop (15µL) sample size.

•   Portable size increases geographic freedom.

How it Works

1. A Test Strip is inserted into the INRatio monitor.

2. A drop of fresh whole blood from a fingerstick is
    applied to the test strip.

3. The blood is drawn into the test area by capillary
    action where it mixes with reagents that cause
    coagulation to begin.

4. The monitor performs the PT test AND 2 quality
    control tests (normal and therapeutic)
    simultaneously, and determines whether the
    controls are within preset limits. If they are, strip
    integrity is verified, and the monitor reports the PT
    test result. If they are not, the monitor displays an
    ERROR message.

5. The test results are displayed in less than 2
    minutes as an INR only, PT seconds and INR, or
    INR, PT, and QC, whichever the user prefers.
