has anyone bought one of these self testing devices,roche coagucheck xs plus for testing your blood inr and pt.

I did find that the price advertised was almost 53,000bht and 8,000bht for 48strips is this correct if so I would have to live till im over 100.

check out e-bay, much cheaper. coag check is a good unit and easy to use.

i currently use the alere in ratio 2 unit. have been using it for 3years.

i am on warafin for life, had dvt. in 05

i would be happy to help you out in any way, show how to use, etc.

Oops, posted too soon.

In the UK these machines are around £350, ฿17,500. The test strips in the UK are £11, ฿550 each. So, swings and roundabouts comes to mind.

I need to get one for myself. I'll check out prices here.

e-bay is the easiest and cheapest way to go.

you will find many will ship direct to Thailand.

i have both machines, alere in-ratio2 and roche coag-check. i have found the coag-check the cheapest test strips and is easier to use. alere had a recall on there test strips last year and ever since the price of test strips has sky-rocketed(supply and demand).

i test weekly.
