Hello comrades - My name is Adam, and I'm new to anticoagulation therapy after getting two new On-x valves in my pulmonary and aortic outflow tracts last month. I am keen on managing my INR with self testing and am looking for a listing of the various manufacturers of home testing kits.
Please excuse my redundancy if a thread has already been posted apropos to this topic, but I could not find one using the forum search tools. I'm mainly looking for a comprehensive listing of manufacturers. I'd also like to see a comparative study showing how closely these machines match lab testing, but realize that's probably not terribly likely
Here are the ones I've found so far, do you have any others that I'm missing?
Many thanks for your feedback.

- Philips INR@Home http://www.inrselftest.com/content/ (Philips appears to be a service provider, as opposed to a device manufacturer -- they actually seem to send the ITC ProTime meter above to the customer and handle all the home testing results/training as a service)
