Hey Guys, I've been on vacation and will continue to be for a couple more weeks. I took my new INRatio machine with me and had to test last week. I did so and the result was an INR of 4.3. I called it in to my cardiologist and the nurse told me to go to a lab immediately and get tested there, which I did. The nurse called the next morning and the lab result was 4.2. Pretty close, huh? It's funny, when I first called the nurse with the machine result, she was sure something was wrong with the machine and wanted me to call and tell the manufacturer about it. I decided to wait on the lab results and am glad that I did. At least I know that my machine is pretty darn accurate. Linda
