Supports ProTime calibration for near-patient INR; leaves open outcome validation before self-testing adoption.
Can the ProTime monitor be calibrated according to the WHO international sensitivity index model for measuring prothrombin time?
The ProTime monitor for near-patient prothrombin time testing can be accurately calibrated to WHO standards, supporting its potential use for patient self-testing.
