The CoaguChek XS Plus System

The CoaguChek XS Plus System measures blood-clotting time (prothrombin time) for

people who are taking anticoagulation medications, such as Coumadin

or warfarin. The

CoaguChek XS Plus System measures blood-clotting time using blood from the fingertip or

whole blood from a vein (nonanticoagulated venous whole blood).

The CoaguChek XS Plus System quantitatively measures prothrombin (blood-clotting) time

(PT/Quick value/INR). INR is a measure of the rate at which blood clots. A low INR can

increase the risk of blood clots, while a high INR can increase the risk for internal bleeding.

The patient’s physician will determine the best INR range for that patient, depending on why

the patient is taking anticoagulants and how the patient reacts to them. The doctor will also

determine how often the patient needs blood testing.

The system includes the CoaguChek XS Plus meter and CoaguChek XS PT test strips.

Optional liquid CoaguChek XS Plus PT Controls are also available. The meter guides you

through the test step by step using the symbols and instructions on the display. Each box of

test strips has its own code chip that you insert into the meter. This code chip contains lot-

specific information about its test strips, such as the expiration date and calibration data.

The CoaguChek XS Plus System makes coagulation testing easy. You only need to insert

the code chip, turn the meter on, insert the test strip, and apply a blood sample. The blood

mixes with the ingredients on the test strip, and the meter determines when the blood is

clotted. The meter displays the result in about one minute. After the measurement, the

meter automatically stores the results in memory so you can easily recall them. The patient’s

physician will use these results to successfully treat the patient’s condition.

The CoaguChek XS Plus System also includes data management with security features, such

as the QC (quality control) lockout for use with optional liquid quality controls.

Introduction

Please note: Before you use the meter for the first time (after you have first inserted

the batteries), you must set the date and time correctly to allow you to carry out

measurements properly.

Each time you replace the batteries you need to check (and, if necessary, adjust) the

date and time.
