Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

PT stands for prothrombin time, which measures the time it takes for blood to clot. INR, or international normalized ratio, is a standardized measurement used to monitor the effectiveness of anticoagulant therapy. It provides a consistent value for PT across different laboratories and testing methods.
CoaguChek XS PT INR Test Strips are used by individuals who require regular monitoring of their blood clotting time, such as patients on oral anticoagulant therapy like warfarin. These individuals may have conditions such as atrial fibrillation, deep vein thrombosis, or mechanical heart valves.
