The PT / INR Procedure:

u Patient & physician friendly, is a simple process performed by a trained Phlebotomist/Nurse.

u Specific days for testing to be done are set with the patient's physician prior to the start of the program.

u Most PT/INR tests are done twice a week. The technician reports the results immediately to the patient's physician. The physician then notifies
the patient of new/changed Coumadin dose. Our state
of the art monitors will read accurate results,
regardless of what type of medication the patient
is currently taking.


 

Coumadin® (warfarin sodium) has proven invaluable in treating a variety of serious conditions (such as atrial fibrillation, hip/joint replacement, heart valve replacement, stroke, etc.) and in reducing the incidence of complications including stroke, systemic embolism and death in persons with atrial fibrillation.

The CLIA-waived testing system uses thromboplastin reagents to measure patients' PT/INR levels. The test, which requires a fingerstick instead of a blood draw, is performed in the comfort of the patient’s home.
Results are available in about four minutes.

To be effective, anticoagulation therapy requires consistent, reliable PT/INR monitoring.

The PT/INR System allows the patient’s physician to receive critical blood level results to adjust the patients anticoagulant level immediately as needed.
