Microcoag Machine

$4/test strip is far cheaper than the $6.50 charge just for the draw and $37 something for the test.
Thanks for your input.

You don't DO INRs on people taking Lovenox or Heparin. This system looks easy...the lancet has 2 ends. One end makes the cut and there is a little cup on the other side that collects the blood. I'm just a bit uneasy about the DPH and the never ending regulations.

Money aside (my ED doesn't like it when I say that) I think it'll be better for everyone. Our lab does once a week draws...that's it. Any other day we have to pay for a stat. The tech comes at 5:50 AM...we get the results back 12 hours later so by the time we get the results and call the doc....you get it. I've suggested more than once that we change our Coumadin time from 6p to 8p since we never get the results and a new order by 6 but change comes slowly out here in the ocean.
