Hmm…maybe THAT’s why the machine is giving false readings…hmmm
So maybe if we all get our alcohol from the same store on the same day within the same timeframe then our machines will FINALLY give us a correct reading!!!
Hahahaha….WRONG WRONG WRONG people!! THE MACHINES DON’T WORK CORRECTLY FOR APS PATIENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been getting odd results from my machine, and have typically lost my handbook
just found this from the roche website, it looks as if the way we have been told to clean it, is leading to incorrect results

where do you get your alcohol from?
i just used water...but its still not correct...5.5 at home and 6.1 at the clinic !

- Finger Stick Machine Education
- My goal is to educate APS patients on long term coumadin or warfarin about the possible dangers of using, and relying on Home (finger stick) INR machines to test their INR. Nothing more, nothing less. **I am not affiliated with any APS group, but a member of many. I am just trying to educate people about these machines.**

You have to be kidding me?! The problem is the machine and the regents. The problem is they never should have sold the machine to you.
I bet the company tried to sell them their wipes because of course that will solve all the problems.
Hilarious, isn't it?
Maybe it's dirty...I think I fell out of my chair on that one.
