microINR PT/INR Coagulometer by iLine Microsystems
More than 45,000 Meters sold worldwide
The microINR System refers to the developed readers (microINR Meter) and the analytic test strips (microINR Chips). This system provides quantitative determination of PT/INR prothrombin time (PT) in INR (International Normalized Ratio) units with fresh capillary blood performed by finger-sticking. The microINR System has been developed to fulfill the needs of all the existing OAT monitoring models and it is intended for patient self-testing use, as well as for healthcare professionals at Point of Care settings. The System employs patent-granted technology, based on the iLine’s Core Technology, and provides accurate and reproducible results as proven in extensive and independent performance evaluations.
Meter description: The microINR coagulometer is an in vitro diagnostics medical device, intended to monitor oral anticoagulation therapy (OAT) with warfarin (Coumadin). It consists of a Machine Vision System (MVS) that provides interfacing and detection means. Automatic strip identification, minimum sample volume and easy-to-use design.
Systemspecifications:
- Measurement range: 0.8 - 4.5 INR
- Multilevel on-board QC performed in each assay
- Rechargeable battery
- Memory: Up to 199 tests and error messages
- Meter dimensions 119 x 65 x 35 mm
User-friendly: No calibration chip needed. Fully automatic. Rapid test performance (less than 1 minute)
Small sample volume: Painless finger-sticking. Easy sample collection
Safety and Reliability: Multilevel on-board QC strategy. Automatic lot ID (No calibration chip needed)
A 23 gauge lancet is recommended for use with I-Line Micro INR.

Introduction: There are limited publications about the microINR point-of-care (POC) system (iLine Microsystems). The current microINR POC system was compared with the ACL TOP 500 laboratory analyzer (Instrumentation Laboratory) and with the CoaguChek XS POC system (Roche Diagnostics).
Methods: This study was performed at three United States medical centers. Sixty-eight nonanticoagulated normal donors and 245 warfarin (Coumadin) anticoagulated patients were included. Testing was performed in duplicate using capillary blood samples for the POC systems and venous blood samples for the laboratory testing. Accuracy and imprecision were assessed.
Results: Comparing microINR to ACL revealed a correlation coefficient (r) of 0.973, a slope of 1.00 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.97–1.03), and an intercept of 0.08 (95% CI, 0.04–0.15). When compared with the CoaguChek XS, r was 0.977 with a slope of 0.92 (95% CI, 0.89–0.94) and an intercept of 0.15 (95% CI, 0.08–0.19). Predicted bias values at international normalized ratio (INR) 2.0, 3.5, and 4.5 were ≤ 5% against both references. Agreement with ACL was 97, 95, and 100% for the INR ranges of < 2.0 ± 0.40, 2.0 to 4.5 ± 20%, and ≥ 4.5 ± 25%, respectively. Agreement for the combined INR ranges was 96% against ACL and > 96% against the CoaguChek XS. The coefficient of variation of the microINR was 5.03% for INR < 2.0 and 4.68% for the therapeutic INR range 2.0 to 3.5.
Conclusion: The microINR results demonstrate adequate imprecision and accuracy to both ACL and CoaguChek XS. This indicates that monitoring INR by this microINR POC system is reliable and acceptable for the management of warfarin (Coumadin) therapy.
