Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1. Can I use this device if my doctor recently changed my medication dosage?
Yes, this INR testing machine is specifically designed to help track how dosage adjustments affect your clotting time, allowing you to share real-time data with your physician.
Q2. Does the device require regular maintenance or professional calibration?
No, it is completely calibration-free. The meter automatically reads the necessary coding directly from the inserted strip.
Q3. Are lancet needles included for every single test?
The package includes the reusable lancet pen device, but you will need to purchase disposable sterile lancet needles separately for ongoing daily testing.
Q4. Can extreme room temperatures affect my test results?
Yes. While the machine is robust, the testing strips are enzyme-sensitive. Always store consumables at room temperature and avoid testing in extreme heat or cold.
Q5. Is there a way to print or export my data?
This specific handheld model displays your history directly on the screen. Most users log the readings manually or use the optional qLabs e-Station dock (sold separately) for printing.
Q6. What should I do if the screen shows a "QC Error"?
A QC (Quality Control) error usually means the strip was exposed to moisture or an insufficient amount of blood was applied. Discard the strip and try again with a fresh one.
Q7. Can multiple people in the same household use this analyzer?
Yes, the machine can be shared. However, to prevent cross-contamination, each user must use a brand-new sterile lancet needle and a fresh strip.
