3.4 Interpreting The Results - iLine microsystems microINR Instrucciones De Uso

• Apply the drop to the Chip immediately, in contact with the
entry channel.
Samples must be applied immediately after collection,
since blood clotting does naturally occur upon fingerstick.
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 small
amount of blood (remnant) at
the entry channel as shown in
the picture.
• If the test must be repeated,
perform the fingerstick on a
different finger, using a new
Chip and lancet.

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 you obtain a
result out of the
measuring range,
the display will
show ↓ 0.8
(below 0.8) or
↑ 8.0 (above 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.
