Intended Use
The HemoSense INRatio is an in vitro diagnostic system that provides a quantitative prothrombin time results, expressed in seconds and as an International Normalized Ratio (INR). It uses fresh capillary whole blood and is intended for use by health care professionals in monitoring patients who are on warfarin-type (coumarin) anticoagulation therapy. This device is not intended to be used for screening purposes.
Device Description
The INRatio Prothrombin Time Monitoring System uses a modified version of the one-stage prothrombin time test. After a drop of blood is applied to the test strip, it is drawn into the test area and mixed with reagents that cause coagulation to begin. The test area on the test strip is separated into three channels, each of which contains electrodes for detection of the blood clot. One channel contains the reagents to perform the prothrombin time test on the blood sample. The other two channels contain the reagents to run control tests. No external quality control tests are required for the INRatio System. The meter monitors the reactions, and calculates the PT and INR for the blood sample, which are reported on the display. If the control results are not within a set range, it indicates a problem with the test and an error message is reported on the display instead of a result.

Not Found

No
The description details a chemical and electrical detection system for blood coagulation, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

No.
The device is used for monitoring blood coagulation parameters (PT and INR) and is an in vitro diagnostic system, not a device that directly treats or prevents a disease or condition.

Yes

The device is explicitly described as an "in vitro diagnostic system" in the "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section. It provides quantitative prothrombin time results and INR, which are diagnostic measurements used by healthcare professionals to monitor patients on anticoagulation therapy.

No

The device description clearly outlines hardware components like test strips with reagents and electrodes, and a meter that monitors reactions and displays results. This is not a software-only device.

Yes, the HemoSense INRatio is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why, based on the provided text:

  • Intended Use: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states: "The HemoSense INRatio is an in vitro diagnostic system that provides a quantitative prothrombin time results..." This directly identifies it as an IVD.
  • Mechanism: The "Device Description" explains that it uses a modified version of the one-stage prothrombin time test, which involves mixing the blood sample with reagents outside of the body (in vitro) to measure a biological parameter (prothrombin time).
  • Purpose: The device is used for monitoring patients on warfarin therapy, which is a diagnostic and monitoring activity performed on a biological sample.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The accuracy of the INRatio was compared to the CoaguChek S and a reference method in field studies and found to be equivalent (r>0.90). Precision and linearity evaluations were performed on the INRatio and the results were found acceptable. Additional testing on interfering substances, and hematocrit were performed and the results are reflected in the product labeling.
