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 the time for your blood to clot. It is also known as prothrombin time, or PT. It is used to monitor blood-thinning medicines, which are also known as anticoagulants. The INR, or international normalized ratio, can also be used to check if you have a blood clotting problem.

A prothrombin time (PT) is a test used to help detect and diagnose a bleeding disorder or excessive clotting disorder; the international normalized ratio (INR) is calculated from a PT result and is used to monitor how well the blood-thinning medication (anticoagulant) is working to prevent blood.
