ROCHE has released a new CoaguChek INRange system, which it says is the first Bluetooth-enabled PT/INR patient self-testing meter to measure coagulation status.
The company said frequent self-testing offers both clinical and patient benefit "as it has been proven that patients that adhere to their monitoring therapy spend more time in their therapeutic range which results in lower incidence of stroke or bleeding".
The system also allows health care professionals to monitor patient PT/INR data, along with various graphical reports enabling patients to track their time in therapeutic range.
It provides INR results in one minute - see www.coaguchek.com.
