Intended Use
The microINR System measures prothrombin time (PT) expressed in International Normalized Ratio (INR), for monitoring oral anticoagulant therapy with warfarin. The microINR System consists of a meter and chips (test strips) and uses fresh capillary whole blood from a fingerstick. The microINR System is intended for patient self-testing use as well as for healthcare professionals at Point of Care settings. The microINR System is intended for use in patients 18 years old or older. Patients must be stable on warfarin medication for at least 6 weeks before starting to use the microINR System. For Self-testing use: The System is intended for properly trained users under specific prescription of a physician. Caution: The microINR System is not in patients who are transitioning from heparin treatment to VKA therapy. The microINR System is not intended to be used for screening purposes.
Device Story
microINR System measures PT/INR in fresh capillary whole blood; utilizes microINR Chip for analysis; provides quantitative INR results. Modification adds optional Bluetooth connectivity to meter (microINR Link Meter) for data transmission; no changes to microINR Chip or fundamental scientific technology. Used by patients for self-testing or healthcare professionals at point-of-care. Output displayed on meter; assists in monitoring oral anticoagulation therapy; enables patient management of vitamin K antagonist therapy.
Clinical Evidence
No new clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence supported by design control activities, risk analysis, and verification/validation of the Bluetooth connectivity modification.
Technological Characteristics
System consists of microINR Meter and microINR Chip. Modification adds Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) connectivity for data transfer. Fundamental measurement technology remains unchanged from predicate. Device is a point-of-care diagnostic system.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients on vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulation therapy requiring PT/INR monitoring. Intended for both patient self-testing and professional point-of-care use.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A prothrombin time test is a device used as a general screening procedure for the detection of possible clotting factor deficiencies in the extrinsic coagulation pathway, which involves the reaction between coagulation factors III and VII, and to monitor patients receiving coumarin therapy (the administration of one of the coumarin anticoagulants in the treatment of venous thrombosis or pulmonary embolism).
