    Home monitoring for coumadin. I have a mechanical heart valve

    I heard from Roche! I will be hopefully picking up my Vantus from my cardiologist’s office. They agreed to send it there and a nurse will then train me on how to use it. They mailed it Friday so I hope to go there Tuesday, and after that begin home testing. So relieved. Thank you everyone for...

    Home monitoring for coumadin. I have a mechanical heart valve

    Do any of you think that the WiFi blue tooth is more complicated? Any recommendations of where to buy? I may end up with the service from Roche eventually but in the meantime it may be best to hurry up and buy one on line. I am looking at Health Supply Pro.

    Home monitoring for coumadin. I have a mechanical heart valve

    I am considering ordering a Coaguchek online from medical health professionals while I wait on Roche. Anyone have had any problems with that outfit? I’m thinking of buyers it to have it ASAP. If Roche sends me one I’ll have two. Any comments on this idea?

    Advanced Cardio Services. Is that the same outfit you use? The number is 800 769 8177. I am not sure if it is because the number is different.

    Home monitoring for coumadin. I have a mechanical heart valve

    Thank you so much. I will see how it goes. I don’t think I would be comfortable self dosing if out of range. But it may be good to have this option instead of having to drive to my doctor’s office. He uses this method. Thank you again

    Home monitoring for coumadin. I have a mechanical heart valve

    Thank you for your information. It is very helpful. Do you have to calibrate or clean the machine? Are you still able to have a lab do it once in a while and be covered? I appreciate your advise
