Reason for Recall
In certain cases, an INRatio PT/INR Monitor system may provide an INR result that is significantly lower than a result obtained using a reference INR system (laboratory method). This issue can arise if the patient has certain medical conditions. It can also occur if the instructions in the labeling for performing the test are not followed.
