the user is to do if the doctor is not immediately available. The user’s

doctor should write these immediate follow-up values and follow-up

instructions in the appropriate section of the user’s Log Book.

NOTE: Be sure the meter is properly set up, including date, time, and units of

measurement, before the training session ends.

The CoaguChek XS System has built-in quality control functions in the meter and

test strips. The meter automatically runs its own quality control test as part of every

blood test, so you never have to run quality control tests with liquid quality controls.

When the quality control test runs, the letters QC flash on the meter’s display.

When the quality control test is finished, a check mark (√) appears following the

letters QC. Then the meter continues to run the blood test.

The built-in quality control helps you know that your test strip has not been damaged.

If you receive a test error, look in the manual for an explanation of all test errors.

Review cleaning procedures with the user, instructing them to follow this process:

A user should clean the meter whenever it looks dirty or each time he or she

opens a new box of test strips, whichever the user prefers.

Use only the following products to clean the meter:

• pre-packaged bleach towelettes such as CoaguWipes

or 10% bleach

solution (1 part bleach and 9 parts water)

• 70% isopropyl alcohol solution

• lint-free tissues

• cotton swabs.

Do not spray any cleaning solution on the meter. Never use a spray of any type.

To clean the exterior of the meter:

1. With the meter turned off, wipe the meter’s exterior clean.

2. With a lint-free tissue, dry the meter.

5. Review collecting and applying the sample, instructing the user to follow

this process:

• Massage the finger from the base until there is increased color in the

fingertip. Keeping the hand down, press the tip of the lancet firmly

against the side of the fingertip. Press the release button.

• The meter must be on a table. Find the target area on the test strip.

• Within 15 seconds of sticking the fingertip, apply the blood drop from

the fingertip to the target area from the side. See the user manual for

more information.

• Hold the blood drop to the test strip until the meter beeps. The flashing

blood drop symbol will disappear and the result will appear on the

display, which takes about a minute. Do not add more blood or touch

the test strip.

• If the meter displays an error message rather than a test result, refer to

the Error Messages section of the user manual to learn what to do next.

• To run a new test, use a new test strip and a different finger.

6. Review final testing steps, instructing the user to:

• Record the result in the Log Book. The meter will automatically store

100 results, with the date and time, in its memory.

• Clean up: remove the lancet from the lancet device. Place the used test

strip and lancet in a puncture-proof waste container with a lid. Turn the

meter off. If the meter is dirty, wipe it with a lint-free tissue and an

approved cleaning solution.

• Always call the doctor with test results.

• If the result is outside the therapeutic range, call the doctor

immediately.

7. Review the procedure to follow if the test results are not in the accepted

PT/INR range:

• Explain to the user that a PT/INR result outside the therapeutic range is

a result that is above or below the immediate follow-up values set by

their doctor or designated healthcare professional. The user must

contact his or her doctor immediately if this occurs. Include clear

instructions on how the user is to contact his or her doctor and what
