Equipment

Children's Heart Federation is able to issue medical equipment to heart families in need. 

Our equipment grant programme is inextricably tied to our fundraising activities which means that we must maintain a medical equipment waiting list and issue equipment as funding becomes available.  This means that we may be unable to issue equipment on demand.

Roche Diagnostics CoaguCheck INR machines (coagulation self-testing machines) allow blood coagulation levels to be monitored at home.  Self-testing means that heart children can avoid regular hospital visits for coagulation monitoring.

The video below is produced by Roche and contains more information about coagulation self-testing.
