Coaguchek Xs System is a brand-name portable blood coagulation meter that measures the coagulation time, or INR, of a patient's blood. It is designed for home use by patients.

What is Coaguchek Xs System?

Coaguchek Xs System is a portable blood-clotting meter with test strips for use by patients who are on anticoagulant medications. When prescribing anticoagulants, a physician will determine a blood-clotting time, or INR (International Normalized Ratio), appropriate to the patient's medical condition. In evaluating the effectiveness of anticoagulant therapy, this blood-clotting time must be regularly measured. This is typically performed during an office visit, but Coaguchek Xs System and similar home-testing devices allow the patient to perform this test at home.

Coaguchek Xs System comes with a portable meter, lancets, and test strips. The patient inserts a test strip into the meter, which then reads the code on the test strip. Using a lancet, the patient pricks the tip of a finger and immediately applies a drop of blood to the test strip. The test strip contains ingredients that measure changes in the blood. When the blood has fully clotted, the meter stops the test and displays the time it took for the blood to clot. The test results are stored in memory and the patient records the test results on a dedicated web site.

The schedule for testing can be put into the machine by the patient or doctor. Missing a scheduled test will display a warning.

Because the test is performed on a strip and not within the meter itself, there is no chance of blood cross-contamination between tests as there are with other portable coagulation meters.

What are the side effects of Coaguchek Xs System?

Coaguchek Xs System is a medical device that does not have side effects when used as directed, but is instead subject to device failures. These may result from a problem with the device or incorrect use of the device. Decisions based on inaccurate results because of device failure may threaten the health of the user.

To reduce the risk, understand and follow directions carefully. Keep both the meter and the testing strips away from heat and humidity. Do not use outdated, dirty, or contaminated testing strips. Wash and dry your hands thoroughly before testing.
