## Indications for use
The Prothrombin Time (PT) was first described by Quick and is a common method of monitoring oral anticoagulant treatment in patients receiving warfarin and related drugs. The safety and efficacy of oral anticoagulant therapy is dependent on regular and appropriate laboratory monitoring of the PT test which measures the depression of clotting factors i, Vi and X. In 1983 the World Health Organization (WHO) described a scheme for PT standardization based on the International Normalized Ratio (INR). The INR is defined as the Prothrombin Ratio (PR) of the patient raised to the power of the International Sensitivity Index (ISI) of the thromboplastin reagent in use such that INR=PR™. With the recent proliferation in both commercial thromboplastins and automated coagulation analyzers, the number of PT system combinations has increased significantly. This, in conjunction with the increasing prevalence of the INR reporting system, has resulted in a heightened awareness of variability in test results between laboratories reporting INR's. CryoCheck INR Validation Set has been designed to enhance the effective monitoring of oral anticoagulant therapy by providing a set of well characterized warfarinized plasmas with system specific INR assigned ranges. CryoCheck INR Validation Set is indicated for use in monitoring the accuracy and control of oral anticoagulant therapy using the International Normalized Ratio (INR) on a variety of prothrombin time systems. CryoCheck INR Validation Set is not intended for use as calibration or reference plasma and should not be used for calibrating the local International Sensitivity Index (ISI) of commercial thromboplastins.
