The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced the following public workshop entitled “Point of Care Prothrombin Time/International Normalized Ratio Devices for Monitoring Warfarin Therapy.”

The purpose of this workshop was to discuss and receive input from stakeholders regarding approaches to the analytical and clinical validation of point of care (POC) Prothrombin Time/International Normalized Ratio (PT/INR) in vitro diagnostic devices for improved clinical management of warfarin therapy in addition to describing the FDA’s process for facilitating the development of safe and effective POC and patient self-testing PT/INR devices. The goal of the workshop was to seek and identify potential solutions to address the scientific and regulatory challenges associated with POC PT/INR devices to ensure safety and effectiveness.
