Patient Self-Testing requires your doctor’s permission, so ask your doctor if PST is right for you. Now you can test your own prothrombin time (PT/INR) anytime, anywhere with a simple fingerstick – and the same easy-to-use meter healthcare professionals trust to give them fast, accurate results. What are The benefits of frequent PT/INR testing with PST? Taking the correct dose of warfarin is critical, because the drug’s effects can vary based on your diet, lifestyle and overall health. That’s why you need to closely monitor your warfarin therapy with frequent blood tests that measure your prothrombin time (PT) - or how fast your blood clots. PT results are usually reported as an International Normalized Ratio (INR). Self-testing your PT/INR is more convenient and offers several advantages over having all of your testing done at the lab or your doctor’s office. Features: Fast and easy– It only takes a few easy steps and about a minute to get an INR result, Simple finger-stick test– Most patients prefer testing with a small drop of blood from a finger stick over having blood drawn from a vein, Convenient– Test when you need to, wherever you are; no need to travel to and from appointments or interrupt your busy schedule, Time in range– Testing frequently makes it easier for your doctor to adjust your warfarin therapy on a timely basis, which may result in more time in the therapeutic range for you and a reduced risk for complications, such as clots or bleeding. Patient self-testing with the CoaguChek XS system allows you to enjoy the freedom of anytime, anywhere testing and still work with your doctor to manage your warfarin therapy wherever you go.* Basic Information from Roche Diagnostics.
