The Alere INRatio and INRatio 2PT/INR Monitor System and INRatio Test Strips measure how quickly a patient’s blood clots when taking Warfarin, an anticoagulant (blood thinner). It uses The International Normalized Ratio (INR) test in order to compare the results of the patients’ Prothrombin Time (how quickly your blood clots). Trained patients and healthcare professionals use these Alere INRatio and INRatio 2PT/INR Monitor Systems and INRatio Test Strips to monitor the anti-coagulation levels in the bloodstream. Defects in these products have been shown to cause inconsistent and incorrect INR results when compared to laboratory INR methods. Defective readings due to the faulty devices have put misinformed patients in potentially injurious and fatal situations.
