Hemosense INR & PT INRatio Meter Review

My monitor is a bit older than the one pictured here; I got it in 2004. It still works perfectly and although I haven't used it in several months, I did use it nearly every week for the better part of 6 years. I calibrated it annually and the difference between lab and my INRatio was negligible when there was a difference.

As far as use of the machine goes, it's quite easy and was a relief to the veins in my arms. Mine came with a lancet pen and after a few tries, doing the finger poke became quite easy. You have to get the "hanging drop"
to land on the large spot on the slide. I've used the Roche Coaguchek where the blood gets pulled into the slide and this one works differently (and in my opinion, more easily, especially if your hands are at all unsteady). It is not difficult to get the drop to fall in the right place; at least it never has been for me. The landing spot is good sized.

From the time you tear open the strip, you have about 10 minutes to perform your test. With the lancet loaded into the pen ahead of time, you probably won't need more than a minute or two and less after you've done it a few times. So take your time getting the hanging drop to fall accurately; you really don't need to hurry.

This system isn't cheap. Neither are the supplies. I was lucky in that my insurance (after many appeals forms filed by myself and my hematologist) covered the cost. Initially, I was told that only heart valve patients are eligible for coverage of an INR monitor but after the paperwork was done, they covered it. But knowing what I know now, I would pay out of pocket if I had to. This machine made life on coumadin so much less complicated.
