Love my INRatio!

Gnusgal · May 13, 2007

I just used my INRatio for the second time (first time without the "trainer" on the phone). It is SOOOOO much better than the ProTime! I had everything ready and was waiting for the signal to poke my finger when the dog decided he needed in- RIGHT NOW (he can be a bit insistant). So I turned to let him in (I was at the kitchen table, right next to the door) and when I turned back the message was already on the screen. Because of my experience with the ProTime I was a little panicked that I wouldn't get the blood in time. And then, when I did get a drop of blood on the test strip I thought for sure it wasn't enough... Low and behold, I shouldn't have worried, because it worked just fine! Beautiful INR of 3.3 and even better- no error messages!

Not to mention the fact that the hole for the finger stick was so small that all I had to do was hold a gause over it for a few seconds and it stopped bleeding. Didn't even need a bandaid!

I'm so glad I made the decision to get a new machine.

Using the INRatio is like playing with my chemistry set when I was younger. It is so easy and therefore actually fun.

Glad you like yours.

Oh, my!
Good thing they don't make brain surgery doctor kits!!

Seriously, Niki, I'm glad you're enjoying your INRatio. And glad that Gina likes hers, too.

I imagine that when my ProTime 3 kicks the bucket, that I'll get an INRatio. But ... I hope that is several years down the road.

Count me in as another enthusiastic INRatio owner. I had the same ProTime experiences that Niki did. Testing is now a stress-free, quick, no big deal event for me. With my ProTime I always held my breath just waiting for the error messages. I was grateful to be able to home test with my ProTime, but the INRatio has simplified that part of my life 10 fold.
