It allows the patient, who is on an oral anticoagulant therapy, to monitor their coagulation status and relay the information to clinicians resulting in optimal therapy management.

"This innovative technology continues the CoaguChek legacy of setting the standard in coagulation monitoring by providing high-quality, convenient care, while optimising outcomes for patients."

The device requires minimal training and issues medication and testing reminders, flagging of results in relation to the target range and has the option to insert comments to the result.

It facilitates a better understanding of the patient’s prothrombin time international normalised ratio (PT / INR) results through frequent self-testing which reduces the number of the patient’s hospital visits and allow them to independently track their status in the therapy while continuing their daily activities.
