Patients on anticoagulation have access to a simple-to-use INR level monitor, resembling the size and scope of at-home blood glucose monitors. The patient gets a reading following a brief finger prick and blood analysis via the monitor; they then report the results to AHC’S PATIENT SELF TESTING monitoring center. The patient’s INR test results are compared to the recommended therapeutic range using AHC’S PATIENT SELF TESTING, and the updated results are plotted on an INR trend report that is automatically sent to and made electronically available to your doctor’s office.

An INR test measures how long it takes your blood to clot. It is also known as a prothrombin time (PT) test. This test is commonly used to monitor blood-thinning medications, also called anticoagulants. The INR, or international normalized ratio, can also help determine whether you have a blood clotting disorder.
A prothrombin time (PT) test is used to help detect and diagnose bleeding or excessive clotting disorders. The international normalized ratio (INR) is calculated from the PT result and is used to monitor how well blood-thinning medication (anticoagulant) is working to prevent blood clots.
