Patient Self Testing

Just as blood glucose self-testing has revolutionized the management of diabetes, self-testing for Prothrombin Time has the potential to provide a positive impact on patient quality of life and therapeutic outcomes.

Benefits of Patient Self-Testing:

• No need for patient travel to the clinic/lab
• Waiting time for results is reduced to about 2 minutes
• Overall time to manage therapy is reduced
• Overall materials and personnel cost is reduced
• Patient doesn't need to perform quality controls
• Patient geographic freedom is increased
• Patient involvement/understanding of therapy is increased

How Will Self-Testing Be Implemented?
The physician will select patients capable of home self-testing, and provide proper training in use of the system.
