Indications for Use
The Coag-Sense Prothrombin Time (PT) / INR Monitoring System for Patient Self-Testing is an in vitro diagnostic device that provides quantitative prothrombin time (PT) results, expressed in INR units. It uses fresh capillary whole blood. The Coag-Sense Prothrombin Time (PT) / INR Monitoring System for Patient Self-Testing is intended for use by properly selected and suitably trained patients or their caregivers on the order of the treating physician to monitor patients who are on anticoagulation therapy. Patients should be stabilized on warfarin-type (coumarin) anticoagulation therapy prior to self-testing. The Coag-Sense Prothrombin Time (PT)/INR Monitoring System for Patient Self-Testing is not intended to be used for screening purposes. The Coag-Sense Prothrombin Time (PT)/INR Monitoring System for Patient Self-Testing is intended to be used by a single person and should not be shared.
Device Story
System measures PT/INR from fresh capillary whole blood; utilizes test and control strips with established chemistry/reagents. Modification replaces color touchscreen with monochrome LCD and soft buttons; transitions power to 4 AA batteries; removes patient ID functionality. Intended for patient self-testing at home. Device provides quantitative INR results to assist patients in monitoring anticoagulant therapy. Fundamental scientific technology remains unchanged from predicate.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical trials performed. Evidence consists of functional bench testing, electrical safety/EMC testing, and usability study. Usability study (IEC 62366-1) confirmed 100% of professional and self-test users found the modified interface easy to use. Side-by-side performance testing using identical test samples confirmed no difference in results between subject and predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
In vitro diagnostic system for PT/INR monitoring. Consists of meter with monochrome LCD, soft buttons, and test/control strips. Power source: 4 AA batteries. Sensing principle: mechanical/chemical detection via test strips (unchanged from predicate).
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients stabilized on warfarin-type (coumarin) anticoagulation therapy requiring PT/INR monitoring. Intended for use by trained patients or caregivers for self-testing. Not for screening.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A prothrombin time test is a device used as a general screening procedure for the detection of possible clotting factor deficiencies in the extrinsic coagulation pathway, which involves the reaction between coagulation factors III and VII, and to monitor patients receiving coumarin therapy (the administration of one of the coumarin anticoagulants in the treatment of venous thrombosis or pulmonary embolism).
