The INRatio® Test Strip

Unique Electrochemical Technology
The INRatio test strip is made of laminated layers of transparent plastic. The simple design features a sample well where blood is applied, 3 channels through which the blood sample flows to reach the testing areas, reagents to start the coagulation process, and electrodes that interface with the INRatio monitor.

Built-In Quality Controls
The monitor uses the test strip's 3 channel technology to perform the PT test AND 2 quality control tests (normal and therapuetic) simultaneously, and determines whether the controls are within preset limits. If they are, strip integrity is verified, and the monitor reports the PT test result. If they are not, the monitor displays an ERROR message. The unique technology of the INRatio strip performs the Quality Control test alongside the actual test sample, requiring no additional steps.

No Refrigeration Required
INRatio Test Strips can be stored at room temperature until they expire, saving refrigerator storage space, and allowing more testing flexibility for patients when traveling.
