Description
Overview
The CoaguChek® INRange system, is intended for the determination of prothrombin time (PT) in fresh capillary blood. It is intended for use by properly selected and appropriately trained patients and their respective caregivers.
The prothrombin time (PT) test is a general coagulation test to monitor Vitamin K Antagonist therapy.
The CoaguChek INRange system is intended for single patient self-testing only. It is not intended for use in a professional setting.
Connectivity
Built-in wireless, Bluetooth® technology allows you to be connected to your patients, who can now transmit their PT/INR results from their meter to you. This will help you to keep patients on track and in range–anytime, anywhere.
CoaguChek technology and quality have been recognized to facilitate VKA patient self-testing in a safe, accurate and reliable manner.1
More time in range
Patients who spend a high proportion of time (> 70%) in the therapeutic range achieve better clinical outcomes.2,3Â Studies show that this can be achieved through self-testing using CoaguChek technology1,4
More engaged patients
Patients who self-test are more engaged in their own care, test more often and spend more time in therapeutic range.4,5
Value of patient self-testing
Patient self-testing has been shown to result in more time spent in therapeutic range,6-8 fewer very high or very low INR values,8 fewer thromboembolic events,9-10 improved patient quality of life,11,12 and better treatment satisfaction11,13 as compared to usual care or anti-
