The Coag-Sense® System is used to test prothrombin time (PT) in patients taking Warfarin for oral anticoagulant therapy. Results are reported as International Normalized Ratio, or INR units, and PT seconds. Because the system directly detects clot formation, it reports true PT-seconds. The Co...
Aetna considers prothrombin time home testing units/home INR testing (e.g., the Coag-Sense Self-Test PT/INR Monitoring System, the CoaguChek XS Plus System, and the INRatio® 2 PT/INR Monitoring System) medically necessary durable medical equipment for persons who require chronic oral anticoag...
Can I do this test at home? Yes, if you will be taking warfarin for an extended period of time. The Food and Drug Administration has approved several home PT and INR testing systems. However, home testing is usually done in the context of a home-based coagulation management program that ...
What is INR Monitoring? The Acelis Connected Health (ACH) remote International Normalized Ratio (INR) Monitoring Program enables you to self-test and report your INR at home, or wherever it’s convenient for you. Since Warfarin helps prevent blood from clotting, you can monitor its effectiveness...
Patients who choose to be followed up in the outpatient clinic were enrolled into the conventional group, and based on the results of the test, the follow-up department is contacted for anticoagulation instructions. Patients who choose to perform their own INR tests at home using a portable ...
The development of point-of-care (POC) testing devices enables patients to test their own international normalized ratio (INR) at home. However, previous studies have shown that when compared with clinical laboratory values, statistically significant differences may occur between the two methods of ...
Telemedicine and telecare can provide significant aid in the management of this therapy allowing patients to perform the test at home or anywhere else with a portable device, i.e. point-of-care testing (POCT), and to send the result to a thrombosis (TC) via web. Patients can receive ...

INR Self Testing - Warfarin (Coumadin) patient Michael Schwartz demonstrates use of his self testing INR meter to measure his own INR at home without needing to visit a lab for a blood draw.
The use of selective international normalized ratio (INR) self-monitoring using a self-measurement device at home has proven safe in children receiving VKA therapy [5], [6], [7]. Whereas most patients claim that they are comfortable with self-measurement devices, QoL has been scarcely ...
