Infection Risk Control on Multi-Patient Test System
•Healthcare professionals must wear gloves during the entire
process of the test.
•A separate lancet or lancing device should be used for each
individual.
•Used Chips, lancets and gloves might be source of infection.
Dispose of them in accordance with local regulations to
prevent infections.
•Also, comply with your centre’s internal hygiene and safety
regulations.
There is a potential risk of infection. Healthcare
professionals using the microINR system on multiple
patients must take into account that all objects that
come into contact with human blood are a possible
source of infection. (See: Clinical and Laboratory
Standards Institute: Protection of Laboratory Workers
from Occupationally Acquired Infections; Approved
Guideline, Fourth Edition CLSI document M29-A4, 2014).
Electromagnetic Compatibility and Electrical Safety
The microINR Meter complies with electromagnetic
compatibility requirements according to IEC 61326-1 and
61326-2-6 standards.
Do not use the microINR Meter near sources of intense
electromagnetic radiation, as this could interfere with
its correct operation.
The microINR Meter complies with electrical safety
requirements according to standards IEC 61010-1 and IEC
61010-2-101.
The Meter must be disposed of as indicated in the WEEE
Directive (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
2012/19/UE).
1.3 ORAL ANTICOAGULANT THERAPY
Oral anticoagulant therapy is given to patients to prevent
thromboembolic events such as venous thrombosis and
pulmonary embolism or those linked to atrial fibrillation or
artificial heart valves.
The treatment entails the need to monitor and adjust the
doses periodically for each patient based on a blood test.
Depending on the reason for oral anticoagulant therapy a
therapeutic range is defined for each patient meaning the
value of the test should lie within that range.
INR and Prothrombin Time
The activity of oral anticoagulants is monitored by measuring
the prothrombin time (PT) in seconds, which is the time it
takes for a fibrin clot to form. Thromboplastin is used as a
reagent to calculate the prothrombin time (PT). Depending on
the nature of this reagent and the equipment used variations
of the PT results are to be expected.
Therefore, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended
a system standardisation method in 1977. Prothrombin time
values are converted into INR values, International Normalized

1.4 MEASURING PRINCIPLE
The technology used by the microINR system is based on the
microfluidics of the microINR Chip, which allows storing,
dosing, moving and/or mixing small volumes of liquids to
perform a chemical reaction.
The microINR Chips contain two channels, one for
measurement and the other for control. An image of the Chip
is shown below:
Each channel consists of a micro-reactor that contains the
reagent and a microcapillary where the INR is determined. The
reagent used in the measuring channel contains human
recombinant thromboplastin and the reagent in the control
channel contains recombinant thromboplastin and human
coagulation factors to normalize the patient’s blood.
The blood is applied to the Chip through the entry channel,
separated into two channels and mixed with the reagents
contained in each micro-reactor. The coagulation cascade is
triggered instantly. When blood coagulates, its viscosity

Ratio, using the following equation:
Where PT is the prothrombin time obtained in the test, MNPT
is the mean normal prothrombin time and ISI the international
sensitivity index corresponding to the thromboplastin. The
values of the MNPT and ISI parameters come from clinical
calibration studies.
The pharmacological activity of vitamin K-antagonist
oral anticoagulants can be modified by other drugs;
therefore, you should only take the medicines
prescribed by your physician.
Certain liver diseases, thyroid disorders and other
diseases or conditions, as well as nutritional
supplements, medicinal herbs or changes in diets can
affect the therapeutic activity of oral anticoagulants
and INR results.

increases, which results into a change in blood flow behaviour.
The Meter captures the position of the sample by means of a
Machine vision system and the position is transformed
mathematically into speed and acceleration curves, from
which an INR value is obtained.
Calibration
Each batch of microINR Chips has been calibrated against a
reference batch of human recombinant thromboplastin traced
to International Reference Thromboplastin of the World Health
Organization1.
These calibration values (ISI and MNPT) are encoded in the
printed Datamatrix of each microINR Chip. Therefore, every
test is automatically and individually calibrated eliminating
any risk of human error.
