  ABSTRACT: Heparin monitoring is widely used to measure the anticoagulant effect of unfractionated heparin and adjust the dose to keep within the target treatment range. This technology has applications in many fields and also prospects in the future. Its application has the advantages of rapidity, high throughput and minimum sample consumption. Many point of care devices for heparin monitoring are available. The CoaguChek device only requires a small sample size, which is obtained through a fingerstick. Over the last few years, the point-of-care (POC) testing was used widely for its convenience, efficiency, and faster turnaround times.
