The INRatio™ Meter

The HemoSense INRatio™ meter is a diagnostic Point Of Care system that provides PT and INR results using fresh capillary whole blood.

The INRatio system reduces the headache of oral anticoagulation management, is easy to use, and eliminates complex quality control testing by using on-board quality controls with every test.

The advantages for the patient are clear:

No need for external liquid quality control or extra strips
No need for separate device to check electronic controls
Ensures reliability on each and every test
Reduces paperwork and materials cost
Reduces complexity of the test procedure
Easy to learn and use the device properly

How it Works

A Test Strip is inserted into the INRatio meter.
A drop of fresh whole blood is applied to the test strip.
The blood is drawn into the test area by capillary action where it mixes with reagents that cause coagulation to begin.
The meter performs the PT test AND 2 quality control tests (high and low) simultaneously, and determines whether the high and low controls are within preset limits. If they are, strip integrity is verified, and the meter reports the PT test result. If they are not, the meter displays an ERROR message.
The test results are displayed in less than 2 minutes as an INR only, or PT seconds and INR, whichever the user prefers.
