I have just had my card visit, and I must admit that it was somewhat interesting...
I showed the doctor my CoaguChek XS, and he was impressed. I have been given the doc's okay to use the self-test device without lab test confirmation for weekly monitoring (if I am stable, 2-weekly), and not have to come in for needle-sticks every few weeks!
If my INR is out of range, 2.0-3.0, then I should call the office to chat to a doctor about possible dosage change.
I am not allowed to self-manage my dosage.
I will get a vein draw every 4months, when I see the doctor.
I love my XS!
