The CoaguChek system is generally considered to be a reliable point-of-care device for monitoring prothrombin time (PT) and international normalized ratio (INR) levels, especially for patients on anticoagulant therapy like warfarin. Its accuracy can be influenced by factors such as user technique, device calibration, and specific patient conditions, but it typically provides results that are comparable to standard laboratory testing when used correctly. However, it's important for users to follow the manufacturer's instructions and consult healthcare providers for confirmation and interpretation of results.
