microINR Expert Analyser
Leading the way in oral anti-coagulation therapy monitoring
Easy-to-use design, small & portable analyser with advanced connectivity options for clinic settings
The microINR System is an in vitro diagnostics medical device, intended to monitor oral anticoagulation therapy (OAT) with vitamin K antagonist drugs.
The system provides quantitative determination of prothrombin time (PT) in INR (International Normalised Ratio) units with fresh capillary blood performed by fingersticking.
Product Overview
The microINR Expert meter is a professional PT/INR coagulometer which incorporates a wide range of advanced connectivity options, a complete traceability system and an innovative and sophisticated software.
The multiple configurable settings make the microINR Expert appropriate for a wide range of settings and markets, providing healthcare professionals with a superior tool for smart monitoring of oral anticoagulant therapy.

Technical details
The microINR System refers to the reader (microINR Meter) and the analytic test strips (microINR Chips). There are three analysers with different connectivity options that all employ iLine’s innovative microfluidic and lab-on-a-chip technology, with the same test chip being used across all three devices.
This technology provides means to perform a biological test comprising sample application, reagent storage, mixing, detection and QC, all these areas embedded in a miniaturised chip using a minimum volume of blood sample. This innovative concept retains quality equivalents to the classical laboratory processes but, at the same time, provides the advantages of a user-friendly one-step assay.
Microfluidics Chips
The INR determination is achieved through sample flow monitoring along the micro-capillary channels of the Chip, following the activation of the coagulation cascade. The current IVD test mimics the conditions of “in vivo” hemostasis, also referred as “ex vivo”.
