• The meter displays a "Sample detected" message, emits a beep
(if enabled) and the countdown disappears once the sample has
been detected.
• Gently remove the finger, leaving a small amount of blood
(remnant) on the entry channel as shown in the picture.
• If you need to repeat the test you must perform the fingerstick in
a different finger with a new lancet and a new chip.

4.5 INTERPRETING THE RESULTS

The results are shown as International Normalized Ratio (INR) units. The microINR Expert system's results
range between 0.8 and 8.0. INR results outside the measuring range will be shown as < 0.8 (below 0.8) or >
8.0 (above 8.0).
The prothrombin time (PT) in seconds can be also displayed depending on the meter settings. The reported
value is derived from the INR result and its equation. The calculation is performed with an ISI of 1.0 and a
typical Mean Normal Plasma Prothrombin Time of 12.0 seconds. PT results range between 9.6 and 96.0
seconds. PT outside the measuring range will be shown as < 9.6 s (below 9.6 s) or > 96.0 s (above 96.0 s).
If an error message is shown, tap on the information symbol
details or follow the steps described in the Troubleshooting section (see section 6).
Repeat the test if an unexpected result is obtained, making sure that the instructions contained in
this document are strictly followed. Contact your distributor if a second unexpected result is obtained.
Results are unexpected when they lie outside the therapeutic range or do not match the patient´s
symptoms: hemorrhages, bruises, etc.
