What is PT/INR – and Why Should You Monitor It?
The Prothrombin Time (PT) test measures how long it takes for blood to clot. This test is commonly used to detect clotting disorders or monitor patients on anticoagulants like warfarin (Coumadin®).
The International Normalized Ratio (INR) is a standardized way of expressing the PT result, ensuring that PT results are consistent regardless of where the test is performed. The INR is crucial for those undergoing warfarin therapy, as it helps doctors ensure that blood thinning is at a therapeutic level. If blood is too thin, there is a risk of bleeding; if it’s not thin enough, the risk of clotting increases.
Together, PT and INR results help doctors understand whether a patient’s blood is clotting too slowly (which can cause bleeding) or too quickly (which can lead to dangerous clots like strokes or deep vein thrombosis). Regular PT/INR testing is essential for individuals taking warfarin, as it helps prevent life-threatening clots or uncontrolled bleeding. The PT/INR test is a key part of managing diseases like deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and certain cardiovascular conditions like atrial fibrillation.
The Mission PT/INR Monitoring System: Your Point-of-Care Solution
At Lochlabs Limited, we proudly offer the Mission PT/INR Monitoring System—a small, user-friendly point-of-care device that gives you accurate PT and INR results in just 2 minutes. Whether you’re in a clinic, hospital, or even at home as a caregiver, this device provides rapid, reliable results without needing a full lab setup.
The Mission PT/INR Monitoring System requires only 15μL of blood, which can be easily collected from a fingerstick. Unlike traditional lab tests, the Mission system doesn’t require any additional transfer tubes, making it simpler and faster for both the patient and healthcare provider. The device is ergonomically designed for ease of use and provides accurate, clinically proven results each time.
This system is ideal for clinics or practices where speed and precision are critical. It is designed with simplicity in mind: just insert the test strip, apply the blood sample, and within minutes, the results will be displayed on the screen.
The system is also equipped with a password protection feature, ensuring that results are kept secure. Furthermore, you can input patient IDs directly into the machine for easy record-keeping and tracking.
What Kind of Sample Is Needed?
The Mission PT/INR Monitoring System requires only a small sample of blood—just 15μL, which is approximately the size of a small drop of blood. The sample can be easily collected through a fingerstick, making the testing process quick and minimally invasive for patients.
There is no special preparation required for the test. However, if you are taking anticoagulant medications like warfarin, it’s recommended that you take the blood sample before taking your daily dose for the most accurate results.
