microINR PT INR (Point of care)
The microINR System is an in vitro diagnostics medical device, intended to monitor oral anticoagulation therapy (OAT) with vitamin K antagonist drugs. The microINR System refers to the reader (microINR Meter) and the analytic test strips (microINR Chips). Our system provides quantitative determination of prothrombin time (PT) in INR (International Normalized Ratio) units with fresh capillary blood performed by fingersticking.

The PT/INR Wet Chemistry System
Is a complete in vitro diagnostic solution designed to quantitatively determine Prothrombin Time (PT) and International Normalized Ratio (INR) using plasma samples. The system consists of two key components: the Thrombostat I Analyzer and the Phospholastin RL Reagent.
Thrombostat I Coagulation Analyzer
A semi-automated mechanical PT testing instrument, the Thrombostat I is designed for in vitro laboratory use. It detects clot formation using a magnetic steel ball method to ensure high sensitivity and repeatability in PT/INR testing.

What is PT/INR Testing?
Prothrombin Time (PT) and International Normalized Ratio (INR) testing are critical for monitoring patients on oral anticoagulant therapy, such as warfarin. These tests measure how long it takes for your blood to clot, ensuring your medication dosage keeps your INR within a safe therapeutic range.
Why It Matters
Maintaining the right INR level reduces the risk of bleeding or clotting complications, ensuring effective and safe therapy.
Who Needs It
Patients with conditions like atrial fibrillation, deep vein thrombosis, or mechanical heart valves often require regular PT/INR monitoring.

Comparison: POC vs Lab PT INR Testing (Patient Convenience Perspective)
| Parameter | Point-of-Care PT INR | Laboratory PT INR |
|---|---|---|
| Time to Results | 1–2 minutes | 3–24 hours depending on lab and workflow |
| Sample Type | Fingerstick (capillary blood) | Venous blood (requires phlebotomy) |
| Accessibility | Can be done in clinics, pharmacies, homes, or bedside | Requires travel to a hospital or diagnostic lab |
| Travel Requirement | Minimal or none | Often requires long-distance travel, especially in rural areas |
| Appointment Needed | Usually not required | Often required |
| Wait Time for Report | Immediate | Wait for processing, reporting, and dispatch |
| Frequency Feasibility | Highly convenient for frequent monitoring (e.g., warfarin) | Less feasible for frequent tests due to inconvenience |
| Anxiety Reduction | Immediate results reduce stress | Waiting for results can increase anxiety |
| Patient Independence | Can be self-tested or done at pharmacy/clinic | Dependent on lab availability and hospital timing |
| Suitability for Elderly | Highly suitable (no blood draws, easy to use) | Challenging due to travel, long queues, and venipuncture |
| Homebound Patient Access | Ideal solution | Practically inaccessible |
| Emergency Use | Very effective at bedside (ER, ICU, cardiac surgery) | Not practical in emergencies unless lab is in-house |
| Result Interpretation Support | Devices often display therapeutic ranges | Requires clinician/lab interpretation |
| Cost to Patient | Slightly higher per test but saves indirect costs (travel, time) | Lower per test, but hidden costs (travel, time off work) |
POC PT INR testing significantly enhances convenience, speed, comfort, and access, especially for:
- Elderly patients
- Those on long-term anticoagulation (e.g., warfarin)
- Rural or mobility-limited populations
