The INRatio2™ Meter

The INRatio2 monitor represents the latest from HemoSense in PT/INR testing at the Point of Care. The INRatio brand is the #1 selling PT/INR point of care monitor for 3 years in a row (according to HPIS data 2005-2007). INRatio2 allows you to obtain a Prothrombin Time (PT) and International Normalized Ratio (INR) result using 1 drop of blood from a fingerstick.

The INRatio2 system reduces the headache of oral anticoagulation management, is CLIA waived, and is easy to use.

The advantages are clear:

No need for external liquid quality control or extra strips
No need for separate device to check electronic controls
Reduces paperwork and materials cost
Entire test procedure requires fewer steps
Ensures reliability on each and every test
Learning the device is easy and simple
Portable size increases geographic freedom

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.
