treatments (non vitamin-k antagonist drugs).
• The performance of the microINR system has not been
demonstrated on blood samples with hematocrit values
outside the range of 25% to 55%. Hematocrit out of this
range may affect test results.
• The device is highly sensitive to vitamin K dependent
coagulation factor deficiencies.
For more information on interferences of the microINR system
with other drugs and diseases, refer to the instructions for use
of the microINR Chip.
The microINR Meter can store up to 199 results of patients
and liquid quality controls. Each result is stored with the date
and time of the test. When conducting a test, if there is no
free storage space, the oldest result will be automatically
deleted to store the new one.
To check the results:
• Press the right button (M). The result of the last test
conducted will be displayed with its date and time and the
ID of the corresponding patient (if it was entered).
• Press again to display the next result, corresponding to the
second-to-last test and so on.
• Press the left button (E) to return to the initial screen. If you
enter a Chip while you are checking the memory, a new test
will begin normally.
To prevent losing stored data, download the data to your
computer with the Data Extraction Soware on the CD that
you will find inside the Meter’s case along with its instructions.
The downloaded information will be displayed in the following
order:
1. Meter ID (MID)
2. Number of test
3. Date
4. Time
5. Patient ID (PID)
6. INR
7. INR of the control channel
8. Datamatrix code
9. Acceptance range of the control channel
10. Type of sample (blood or plasma)
Cleaning and disinfection of the microINR Meter is essential to
ensure proper microINR system operation and to prevent
blood-borne transmission of pathogens in multi-patient tests.
Clean the Meter when it is visibly dirty and before disinfecting.
Use a new pair of gloves every time you clean and disinfect
