Roche 05530199160 CoaguChek XS Pro Meter Care Kit

CoaguChek XS Pro Meter offers simplified testing and instant results when monitoring patients who take warfarin as anticoagulation therapy. The handheld, battery-powered device is ideal for use in mid to high volume clinics, where it can provide enhanced connectivity, accuracy and flexibility. Its advanced technology offers practitioners a smarter way to test at the point of care.

Simple, efficient testing

• CoaguChek XS Pro uses a capillary whole blood sample from a simple fingerstick test to determine prothrombin and international normalized ratio (PT/INR) results, on-the-spot at the point of care. Instant results eliminate waiting for laboratory results to be returned, and offer increased peace of mind when monitoring Vitamin K antagonist therapy. They also offer clinicians the ability to test patients and adjust the dosage of anticoagulant medications in the same session. To perform a test, a small (8µL) blood sample is applied to a test strip, which is then inserted into the meter. Within a minute, an onboard quality control test and the required analysis have been completed; results are displayed on the device's LCD screen. 

Easy to use 

• CoaguChek XS Pro includes several features which have been designed to make use as simple and hassle-free as possible. The test strips required for use with this device have large top and side dosing areas, enabling easy sample application. This application occurs outisde of the meter, which helps avoid cross-contamination and ensures clean testing. The strips have a 21-month shelf life from the date of manufacture, and do not require refrigeration. This device has been designed for consistently easy use requiring minimal maintenance: calibration information is provided by a coding chip included in every vial of test strips, meaning no manual calibration is necessary. Additionally, this meter does not require the use of pipettes or the preparation of reagents, further simplifying use.
• CoaguChek XS Plus can run on 4 x AA batteries or an optional rechargeable battery pack, facilitating easy portability for use across a facility or facilities. It can also be powered directly from an AC mains switch. It features auto-power, which automatically turns the device on when a test strip is inserted and turns it off three minutes later. This meter is designed to be user-friendly: it features an icon-driven, full-color, touchscreen interface for easy, intuitive use.

Quality control for high accuracy

• CoaguChek XS Pro is the only blood testing meter with inbuilt quality control, which examines test strips for integrity while performing the required analysis on a single chamber of the test strip. It features flexible QC options - onboard controls and optional liquid testing - which, together with its operator and QC lockout system, allow for independent control testing to meet a facility's regulatory requirements, enabling use in any environment. CoaguChek is also the only handheld monitoring system which neutralizes therapeutic levels of heparin (up to 0.8U/mL) and LMWH (low molecular weight heparin) (up to 2IU/mL). It also corrects INR values for hematocrit within a specified wide range. The combination of automatic calibration, inbuilt and optional quality controls, and correction and neutralization allows CoaguChek to offer precise results which are approximately 97% accurate when compared to standard lab results.

Streamlined data management and connectivity

• CoaguChek XS Pro features a barcode scanner, designed to help high-throughput facilities manage patient records more successfully. The scanner quickly and efficiently captures and registers operator and patient IDs, saving time by removing the need to manually enter identification information. This also enhances patient safety by virtually eliminating manual entry errors. It also allows practitioners to add comments after results. This device also offers extensive data management options to help practitioners streamline data management across a facility. The device has exceptional memory capacity, capable of storing 2000 patient results and 500 liquid quality control results. It also features code chip programming and data storage for up to 60 code chips. CoaguChek features advanced sharing options, including bidirectional data transfer with RALS Plus, and connectivity with TELCOR QML or through POCT1A.
