A method, apparatus and kit are claimed for maintaining a level of the therapeutic anticoagulation in a patient's blood resulting from administration of anticoagulants. A desired range of a blood coagulant characteristic is established for the patient (INR range). The blood coagulant characteristic of the patient is determined and transmitted automatically to a surveillance location in the form of digital data. The transmitted blood coagulant characteristic data is then compared to the desired range. A caregiver is informed if the transmitted blood coagulant characteristic data is outside the desired range, or if testing and reporting do not take place in a timely fashion.

L'invention concerne un procédé, un appareil et un kit permettant de maintenir dans le sang d'un patient un niveau d'anticoagulation thérapeutique, suite à l'administration d'anticoagulants. On établit une gamme souhaitée de caractéristique de coagulation sanguine pour le patient (gamme d'INR). La caractéristique de coagulation du patient est déterminée et transmise automatiquement à un site de contrôle sous la forme de données numériques. Ensuite, cette caractéristique est comparée à la gamme souhaitée. Une personne soignante est informée lorsque les données sont en dehors de la gamme souhaitée, ou lorsque les procédures d'essai et de notification ne se déroulent pas en temps opportun.
