Liquid Control Test
The
Mission
®
PT/INR Control Solutions contain non-human plasma
specimens with predetermined acceptable ranges and are packaged as
Level 1 (Normal) and Level 2 (High) values. If the
Mission
®
PT/INR
Monitoring System is working properly, the INR value will be within the range
of accepted values printed on the control solution pouch label.
Liquid control tests are performed in a very similar manner to blood tests,
using the
Mission
®
PT/INR Control Solutions instead of blood. Read the
Control Solution Package Insert before using the controls. Refer to the
control solution pouch label for acceptable ranges for the control solution lot.
The system is working properly if the control value displayed by the meter is
within the acceptable range printed on the pouch label. If the value is outside
of the acceptable range, repeat the test. If the results are still out of range in
the second test, refer to the troubleshooting section of the Control Solution
Package Insert.
