Using a correct technique to obtain and apply
the sample is essential. Make sure to follow the
instructions. Otherwise, the results might be
incorrect.
3.4 INTERPRETING THE RESULTS
The results are shown as International Normalized Ratio (INR)
units. The microINR system’s results range between 0.8
and 8.0.
If an error message is displayed, see the “Error guide” section
and follow the instructions.
If an unexpected result is obtained, repeat the
test making sure that the indications described in
these instructions for use are strictly followed. If an
unexpected result is obtained again, contact your
doctor and/or distributor.
Results are unexpected when they lie outside the therapeutic
range or do not match the patient´s symptoms:
haemorrhages, bruises, etc.
3.5 LIMITATIONS OF USE
• Once the Chip is taken out of its original pouch, it should be
used within the following 6 hours.
• Do not use to measure or monitor the anticoagulation status
of patients under treatment with direct oral anticoagulation
The sample must be applied immediately aer
obtaining it, otherwise coagulation would start
naturally and an error message or an incorrect
result might appear.
Avoid contact between the Chip and the finger in order not to
obstruct the entry channel and thus allow for uninterrupted
blood absorption. Only the drop of blood must make contact
with the Chip.
Apply the sample on a single attempt. Never add more blood
to the Chip.
• After the beep, gently remove
the finger, leaving a remnant in
the entry channel as shown in
the picture.
• If the test must be repeated,
perform the fingerstick in a
different site.
