There was an allegation of questionable inr results for a patient testing with a coaguchek xs pro meter, serial number (b)(4).The patient¿s doctor reportedly suggested that the patient may have a gi (gastrointestinal) bleed.The patient¿s doctor reportedly noticed blood in the stool in the (b)(6) or (b)(6) 2021 timeframe.The date of event is an approximation.Results from the meter were reportedly: 3.3 inr on (b)(6) 2021 at 6:55 pm; 2.4 inr on (b)(6) 2021 at 2:24 am; 2.2 inr on (b)(6) 2021 at 1:05 am; 2.2 inr on (b)(6) 2021 at 8:50 pm; 2.0 inr on (b)(6) 2021 at 10:36 pm.The doctor reportedly wants to perform a colonoscopy and has concerns about the meter¿s accuracy.The patient reportedly took 7.5 mg of warfarin on tuesdays and thursdays and 5 mg the rest of the week.However, at some point in n(b)(6) or (b)(6) 2021, the patient's warfarin dosage was adjusted and they now take 5 mg of warfarin daily.The patient's therapeutic range is 2.0-3.0 inr and she tests bi-weekly.This mdr is being submitted in an abundance of caution.
