Coaguchek XS Customer benefits
With the CoaguChek XS system and coagulation self-monitoring, patients will benefit from more…
…comfort by virtually pain-free testing, anywhere and anytime with Coaguchek
- Virtually pain-free testing using the CoaguChek Softclix lancing device: no need for venous blood sampling.
- Only one drop of capillary whole blood (10 µl) from the fingertip to get a quick (1 min) and precise INR result with Coaguchek
- Choice between top-dosing and 2 side-dosing options offers an easier application of blood in the Coaguchek.
- Room temperature stability for Coaguchek strips improves logistics
… safety by counting on an On-Board-Integrated-System Control (OBIS) Coaguchek
- Displays results only after several quality control steps have been passed in the Coaguchek Device
- Automatic control of internal system functions in Coaguchek Device
- On-board single-channel strip control (OS2C) which checks the integrity of every strip directly in the measuring channel in Coaguchek
- Failsafe features: device and strip are constantly monitored during the measuring process (e.g. check for sufficient blood volume application) Coaguchek
- Reagent is sensitive (ISI close to 1,0) and compares very well with reference laboratory results.
- Reagent is insensitive to heparin (up to 1 I.U/ml for UFH, up to 2 aXa U/ml for lMWH), allowing continuous vitamin K antagonist (VKA) therapy management, e.g. during transition from heparin to VKA therapy.
- 100 test results can be strored in Coaguchek memory
- Better clinical outcome with Coaguchek: testing more frequently means less risks of over- or under-dosing, hence less odds for adverse effects (bleeding or clotting)
Additional features with Coaguchek
The CoaguChek XS system and coagulation self-monitoring will result in …
…better patient compliance with Coaguchek testing
Self-testing with Coaguchek helps to build a stronger partnership between the patient and the Healthcare professional, leading to a more compliant, independent and satisfied patient, and to a better clinical outcome.
…better cost-effectiveness with Coaguchek
Self-monitoring will contribute to better cost-effectiveness in healthcare by helping to maintain INR values longer within the therapeutic range, and thereby diminishing the risks of very costly complications.

Further Coaguchek benefits for you and your patients
The next generation in POC PT/INR testing, the new CoaguChek XS system uses exclusive smart technology to help ensure accurate results, and offers to selected patients the flexibility and control that they need to confidently manage their VKA therapy.
Through fast, accurate PT/INR test results, patients can test anytime, anywhere with a simple fingerstick—the testing method patients prefer.
Having patients use the same type of meter for PT/INR self-testing that you use at the point of care (CoaguChek XS Plus) may make it easier for you to work together to manage their anticoagulation therapy effectively.
With Coagulation Monitoring at home, here is no need to take time-off from work or to travel to a testing facility: it increases patient’s independence and quality of life.
CoaguChek XS key benefits:
Accurate and flexible technology
- Accurate, precise results in one minute with Coaguchek
- The only system to perform onboard quality control and determine patient results in a single test chamber
- Neutralizes therapeutic levels of heparin and LMWH
- INR corrected for hematocrit within specified range – manage a broad array of patients with one device
Easy and convenient to use
- Small sample size (10?l) for easy dosing
- Strip allows dosing from either top or side for simple blood application
- 18-month strip shelf life – no refrigeration needed
- Outside meter blood application – minimizes potential for cross-contamination
- Small, battery-powered, handheld meter for portability and efficiency
Efficient and cost-effective
- New onboard controls – no external QC necessary
- Auto-on with strip insertion and auto-off capabilities
- Testing, treatment and potential revenue capture in one appointment
- Fingerstick test that patients prefer
With the CoaguChek XS system and Self-Monitoring, patients will benefit from increased:
Quality of Care
- Providing patients with an accurate, easy-to-use PT/INR meter they can use at home may lead to more frequent testing and allow you to make dosage adjustments with just a phone call, leading to more time in range.
- Having patients use the same type of meter you use at the point of care (CoaguChek XS Plus) helps ensure the consistency of test results, so you can manage therapy effectively, help prevent adverse events and provide a higher level of patient care.
- Built-in quality controls automatically test strip integrity and meter function, for results you can trust.
Patient Satisfaction with Coaguchek
- The convenience of testing at home, fewer office visits, and the patient preference for fingerstick testing may lead to more satisfied patients and greater time in therapeutic range.
- The portability of the small, handheld meter and the ability to store test strips for up to 18 months without refrigeration give patients the freedom to test anywhere, anytime.
- Patient testing costs may be reimbursable (country dependent)
The CoaguChek systems have been widely accepted for home and professional use since the first model was introduced in 1993.
This is one of the reasons why well over 1 million patients in various countries are tested on a CoaguChek system (2008), either at HCP’s practice or at home by patients.

As fast and easy as it looks
Before using the monitor for the first time, carry out the following steps:
- Insert the batteries
- Insert the code chip (you can also carry out this step immediately before testing)
- Set the current date and time
- Select the coagulation unit in which the results are to be displayed
Put a test strip in the CoaguChek XS
The code number of the code chip inserted in the monitor flashes in the display. Make sure that this number is identical with the code number printed on the test strip container. If the two numbers are identical, confirm by pressing the M button.
Prick your finger with a lancet device approved for professional use (e.g. the Accu-Chek Softclix Pro or Accu-Chek Safe-T-Pro device)
The blood drop symbol and the application area flash to indicate that the monitor is ready to test. At the same time a 120-second countdown begins. Within this time you must have applied the drop of blood.
And ...
...place a drop of blood on the strip
Apply the blood directly from the finger to the semicircular, transparent sample application area of the test strip. Apply the blood drop to the test strip within 15 seconds of pricking the fingertip.
Alternatively, you can touch the blood drop against the side of the sample application area (instead of applying it to the centre from above).
After about one minute, read the result on the CoaguChek XS display
Result can be displayed in:

CoaguChek® XS relies on international standards
The CoaguChek XS strips are calibrated against WHO standards, which is a manual tilt tube reference method using International Reference Preparations (IRPs) rTF/95 and CRM149S. The Masterlot ISI is then determined and will be used for further lots'ISI determination.
The master lot’s ISI is then determined and will be used for further lots production. All produced lots are therefore traceable back to the international reference methods.
The calibration data are contained in a code chip provided with each vial of strips.
No further calibration is needed from the HCP or the patient.
