The AvoSure PT PRO has clear advantages over the
Thrombotrack Nycomed Analyzer in terms of manipulation
and security for nurse operators and patients. Although the
current study was performed in an anticoagulation clinic,
previous studies have shown the accuracy of portable PT
monitors and satisfactory results for self-testing at home.21
We conclude the that AvoSure PT PRO, used to test the
INR in capillary blood and plasma samples, has an acceptable
level of accuracy for oral anticoagulation control as one
of a new generation of portable prothrombin monitors and
has advantages over other portable monitors.
