English

The CoaguChek XS System

The CoaguChek XS System is used for quantitative monitoring of coagu-

lation values (common terms: thromboplastin time, PT, Quick value) with

CoaguChek XS PT test strips.

Self-monitoring and self-adjustment of oral coagulation therapy using

coagulation values determined with the aid of the CoaguChek XS System

may only be undertaken after consultation with your doctor and compre-

hensive instruction by a qualified healthcare professional. Your pharma-

cist / specialist supplier can provide you the training and/or put you in

touch with associations or institutions offering training in coagulation

self-monitoring. Please read the special notes on INR self-monitoring in

the package insert accompanying the test strips.

Last update user information: 2010-03

WARNING

The CoaguChek Softclix lancing device is intended only

for patient self-monitoring by a single person. It must

not be used to collect blood in a multi-patient

setting as it does not incorporate any features to

guard against cross-infection.

This manual contains all the information you need to operate and care

for the CoaguChek XS System. Please read this entire manual care-

fully before you use the meter.

Healthcare professionals: In addition, observe carefully the pre-

cautions and procedures applying to professional use provided in the

relevant sections of this manual.

Introduction

The CoaguChek XS System

The CoaguChek XS System (CoaguChek XS meter and CoaguChek XS PT

test strips) quantitatively determines prothrombin time (PT/Quick value/

INR) using capillary blood from a fingertip or untreated venous whole

blood. The CoaguChek XS System makes coagulation testing easy.

The CoaguChek XS meter guides you through the test step by step

using the symbols in the display.

The code chip accompanying the test

strips contains lot-specific information about these test strips, including

calibration data that allow the correct results to be calculated, and the

expiry date for the test strips. You only need to insert the code chip, turn

the meter on, insert the test strip, and apply a blood sample. When the

CoaguChek XS meter is ready for a measurement, the result will be

displayed about 1 minute after application of the sample. After the

measurement, the meter automatically stores the result in memory.

If you have any questions about the CoaguChek XS meter, please contact

your local customer support and service centre. You will find contact

details on page 103.

Please note: Before you use the meter for the first time (i.e. 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.

Introduction

10

Test principle

The CoaguChek XS PT test strip contains a lyophilized reagent (reagent

in dried form). The reactive components of this reagent consist of throm-

boplastin and a peptide substrate. When a sample is applied, thrombo-

plastin activates coagulation, which leads to the formation of thrombin.

At the same time the meter starts to measure the time. The enzyme

thrombin cleaves the peptide substrate, generating an electrochemical

signal. Depending on the time elapsed when it first appears, this signal

is then converted by means of an algorithm into customary coagulation

units (INR, %Quick, seconds) and the result is displayed.

Operating conditions

To ensure that your CoaguChek XS System functions properly, please

observe the following guidelines:

■ Only use the meter at a room temperature between 15°C and 32°C.

■ Only use the meter at a relative humidity between 10% and 85%.

■ When testing, place the meter on a level, vibration-free surface or

hold it so it is roughly horizontal.

■ If the meter is to remain unused for a longer period of time, keep it in

the carry-case supplied.

■ Use the meter only up to a maximum altitude of 4300 metres.

Electromagnetic interference

Strong electromagnetic fields may interfere with the

proper operation of the meter. Do not use the meter near

strong electromagnetic fields.

Introduction

Quality control

The CoaguChek XS System has a number of inbuilt quality-control

functions such as:

■ A check of the electronic components and functions every time the

meter is turned on.

■ A check of the test strip temperature while a test is in progress.

■ A check of the expiry date and lot information on the test strip.

■ A quality control function is incorporated into the test strip. Quality

control and system checks using control test solutions that you may

be familiar with from other systems are no longer required.

Safety Information and Additional Information

Safety Information and Additional

Information

This section explains how safety-related messages and information

related to the proper handling of the system are presented in the

CoaguChek XS User’s Manual. Read these passages carefully.

The safety alert symbol by itself (without a signal word) is

used to promote awareness to hazards which are generic

or to direct the reader to related safety information

WARNING

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

could result in minor or moderate injury.

NOTICE

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

may result in damage to the system.

■ Important information that is not safety relevant is presented against

a colored background (without a symbol). Here you will find addi-

tional information on correct use of the meter or useful tips.

■ Instructions that require you to actively do something also appear

on a blue background.

Batteries

To save power, the CoaguChek XS meter automatically turns itself off

after 3 minutes unless a button has been pressed or a new test strip has

been inserted. When the meter turns itself off, all results obtained up to

that point remain in memory. The meter briefly indicates the battery

power level when it is turned on. The battery symbol is divided into four

segments which correspond to the battery power level.

Results are retained in memory together with the date and time even

when no batteries are inserted. All other settings are retained, too.

Think of the environment. Dispose of used batteries sensibly.

When replacing the batteries you must insert the new batteries within

one minute of removing the old ones, to keep the date and time settings.

If you take longer than this, you must re-enter the date and time. Use only

alkali-manganese batteries type AAA.

The CoaguChek XS meter is shipped with high quality batteries. Since

quality varies among different battery brands, Roche recommends

replacing your used batteries with new batteries of a similar high quality

and not mixing different brands. Do not mix new and already used

batteries.

Please be aware that battery life may be affected by many factors, such

as battery quality, operating conditions (e.g. ambient temperature),

frequency of use, and test duration.

WARNING

Do not throw batteries onto a fire. They may explode!

Inserting the batteries

1 With the meter turned off,

turn it over.

2 Gently press the tab on the

battery compartment cover

towards the centre of the

meter and lift off the cover.

3 Insert the four batteries in

the battery compartment as

indicated. Pay attention to

the positions of “+” (top of

battery) and “–” (flat end).

Once you have inserted the

batteries, the meter turns

itself on after about

5 seconds.

Only use alkaline manganese

batteries (1.5 V, AAA). Think

of the environment. Dispose

of used batteries sensibly.

4 Close the battery compart-

ment.

5 Check that all of the display

symbols are displayed prop-

erly. Results may be misread

if a segment is missing.

Tip

If the display check when you
