Connectivity

 

Built-in wireless, Bluetooth® technology allows you to be connected to your patients, who can now transmit their PT/INR results from their meter to you. This will help you to keep patients on track and in range–anytime, anywhere.

CoaguChek technology and quality have been recognized to facilitate VKA patient self-testing in a safe, accurate and reliable manner.1

 

More time in range

 

Patients who spend a high proportion of time (> 70%) in the therapeutic range achieve better clinical outcomes.2,3 Studies show that this can be achieved through self-testing using CoaguChek technology1,4

 

More engaged patients

 

Patients who self-test are more engaged in their own care, test more often and spend more time in therapeutic range.4,5

 

Value of patient self-testing

 

Patient self-testing has been shown to result in more time spent in therapeutic range,6-8 fewer very high or very low INR values,8 fewer thromboembolic events,9-10 improved patient quality of life,11,12 and better treatment satisfaction11,13 as compared to usual care or anti-

CoaguChek INRange
The CoaguChek INRange system features
  • Results trend reporting: The CoaguChek INRange meter will let your patients know if their most recent result is higher or lower than their last result to help understand trends.

  • Bluetooth or USB connectivity: Connect the meter to a mobile app via Bluetooth or USB to quickly and easily send results to the healthcare professional. For more information about compatible software for data transfer with the CoaguChek INRange meter please contact your local Roche Diagnostics customer support.

  • Color display: The color display makes important information such as color-coded results noticeable so that they are easy to read and understand.

  • Target range aware: Once you setup targets in your CoaguChek INRange, it will clearly let the patient know about results out of that range.

  • Commenting: The patient can enter up to 6 comments with each result to help them remember any past actions that may have affected the result.

  • Reminders and on-screen help: Reminders can be setup for important events such as when to test, take medication or next doctor's appointment. On-screen help provides text guidance through-out the test procedure.
