The INRatio¿ system performs Prothrombin Time (PT) testing on fresh, capillary whole blood. The PT test is the principle assay used to monitor warfarin therapy. Patients taking warfarin and other oral anticoagulants should consult with their healthcare provider before adjusting their dosage. The thromboplastins used in performing PT tests can vary substantially causing differences in results between methods. The International Normalized Ratio (INR) is a mathematical correction of the PT result that adjusts for differences in thromboplastins. Consult your physician for the appropriate therapeutic range for you.

  • Commentaire du fabricant
    “We are in constant communication with regulatory agencies and competent authorities worldwide which allows us to implement global recalls or in-country communication quickly and effectively,” Abbott, which now owns St. Jude Medical told ICIJ in a statement. In addition to sending global notices to physicians worldwide, we also make sure that product advisories are available online and classification of product recalls and product advisories are determined by global regulatory bodies which can impact the timing in any given country. MD companies follow varying regulations in different countries. In come countries software is not regulated so a recall in one country related to software would not be classified as a recall or field action in another. In addition, review cycles within the regulatory process can be different in each country which can impact communication and recall timing.
