Coaguchek S glitch update

Attended the final training session for home monitoring. Roche sent a new box of strips and all the checks were made resulting in an INR level.

Obviously nothing wrong with the monitor. That's a good thing.

Yeah, well, what was your INR? Inquirying minds would like to know?

Hi Ross,

Inquiring minds should be and will be enlightened.

So here goes.

Veinous draw 3.4 Coaguchek S 4.4

The instructor maintains there will always be difference and there has always been, but never a difference of this magnitude.

Warfarin dose remains the same and will check again myself within a week. So we will see what ensues.

Cheers

Lance I know the Doctors hail their lab tests, but honestly, I think those lab tests are more inaccurate then the machines are. I wish you could've seen some of the whacked readings I got from veinous draws. One day, two different labs, huge difference in results. I've come to the conclusion that INR is always going to make a person wonder just what it really is. Truly the reading is only good for that particular moment in time.
