Inratio2® Monitor

09-07-2014

 

The INRatio2 allows you to obtain your Prothrombin Time (PT) and International Normalized Ratio (INR) results in less than a minute using 1 drop of blood from a fingerstick. Self-test your PT/INR more often without having to travel to a lab. It reduces the headache of oral anticoagulation management, is easy to use, and features on-board quality controls with every test.

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.
