3.5 LIMITATIONS OF USE
• Once the Chip is taken out of its original pouch, it should be
used within the following 6 hours.
• Do not use to measure or monitor the anticoagulation status
of patients under treatment with direct oral anticoagulation
treatments (non vitamin-k antagonist drugs).
• The performance of the microINR system has not been
demonstrated on blood samples with hematocrit values
outside the range of 25% to 55%. Hematocrit out of this
range may affect test results.
• The device is highly sensitive to vitamin K dependent
coagulation factor deficiencies.
For more information on interferences of the microINR system
with other drugs and diseases, refer to the instructions for use
of the microINR Chip.
4. MEMORY
The microINR Meter can store up to 199 results of patients,
liquid quality controls and error messages. Each result is
stored with the date and time of the test. When conducting a
test, if there is no free storage space, the oldest result will be
automatically deleted to store the new one.
To check the results:
• Press the right button (M). The result of the last test
conducted will be displayed with its date and time and the
ID of the corresponding patient (if it was entered).
• Press again to display the next result, corresponding to the
second-to-last test and so on.
• Press the left button (E) to return to the initial screen. If you
enter a Chip while you are checking the memory, a new test
will begin normally.
