Coaguchek XS Meter (Home/Patient Self Monitoring)

State-of-the-art technology with the accuracy, precision, safety and convenience essential for effective patient self-monitoring.

CoaguChek systems have been specifically developed for healthcare professionals and their patients to enable patients to self monitor their coagulation levels (PT/INR).

CoaguChek coagulation monitoring systems empower healthcare professionals to make immediate, knowledge-based adjustments of the anticoagulation therapy with minimum inconvenience for your patients:

• No need for venous sampling
• Receive results immediately, so that there is no need for a second visit
• More independence

Realise the benefits of patient self-monitoring with the the CoaguChek XS Meter:

• Compact, hand held design and battery operation mean that the patient can take it anywhere and use it whenever they need to
• Individual therapeutic range can be set so that the patient can see at a glance whether their results are within range
• Large graphic display and easy to follow operation make it easy to use
• 100 result memory means past results can always be used for comparison
• For added comfort, only a tiny sample of finger prickblood is needed
• For the patient, self-monitoring with CoaguChek XS provides improved symptom management and quality of life, more independence, and fewer
• consultations and hospital admissions
• For you, patient self-monitoring means fewer clinic visits, regular monitoring and reduced risk of complications
• Giving everyone the confidence of closer management of INR monitoring and the improved quality of life that results
• AAA battery powered

Further benefits for you and your patients

Each individual reacts differently to oral anticoagulant treatment. Stress, other medications e.g. some pain killers or antibiotics, diets rich in vitamin K (e.g sprout or cabbage) or alcohol, may interfere with oral anti-coagulant therapy (drugs called vitamin K antagonists). Some conditions like fever or diarrhoea might also have an impact on INR results. It is therefore important to check the PT/INR regularly. The Roche CoaguChek XS system gives very fast (1 min) PT/INR results using capillary blood using only one drop from the fingertip.

With the CoaguChek XS system and Self-Monitoring, you will benefit from more:

Comfort

• One drop of capillary whole blood (only 10 µl) to get a quick (1 min) and precise INR result
• Virtually pain-free testing using CoaguChek Softclix lancing device: there is no need for venous blood sampling
• Choice between top-dosing and side-dosing options offers an easier application of blood
• Possibility to test anywhere and anytime: it is easy to transport due to its low weight and size, and practicalities are improved as strips are stable at room temperature (no refrigeration is required)

Safety

You can count on an On-Board-Integrated-System Control (OBIS). It comprises:

• On-board integrity check of every strip directly in the measuring channel (OS2C system)
• Failsafe features: device and strip are constantly checked during the measuring process e.g. check for sufficient blood volume application
• Automatic control of internal system functions: Give yourself peace of mind and improve your quality of life with the CoaguChek XS system from Roche Diagnostics!

The CoaguChek systems have been widely accepted for home and professional use since the first model was introduced in 1994. So give your patients peace of mind and help them to improve their quality of life with the CoaguChek XS system from Roche Diagnostics!

The CoaguChek XS uses a low ISI PT reagent:

• human recombinant thromboplastin has an ISI = 1.0 for greater test accuracy
• compliant with WHO and British Society of Haematology (BSH) recommendations
