Introduction
Before you start
Intended use
The CoaguChek® INRange system, consist-
ing of the CoaguChek INRange meter and
the CoaguChek XS® PT Test PST test strip,
is intended for the determination of pro-
thrombin time (PT) in fresh capillary blood.
It is intended for use by properly selected
and appropriately trained patients and their
respective caregivers.
The prothrombin time (PT) test is a general
coagulation test to monitor Vitamin K Antago-
nist therapy.
The CoaguChek INRange system is intended
for single patient self-testing only. It is not
intended for use in a professional setting.
Introduction
CoaguChek INRange User’s Manual

10
PT time
A PT test is often called an INR test. The
International Normalized Ratio (INR) is a way
of standardizing the results of prothrombin
time tests because there are different test
methods. INR enables you and your doctor
to understand your coagulation results even
when they come from different labs using
different test methods.
Prothrombin time can also be expressed as
%Quick or in seconds.
Self-testing
If you self-test, you can adjust your medication
dose yourself. However, you need to discuss
your therapy model with your healthcare pro-
fessional rst. Self-testing is not a substitute
for regular visits to your doctor.
Depending on the training you have received
and the instructions from your healthcare
professional, you might communicate your
results to a healthcare professional or clinic
to receive the appropriate dose adjustment.
Or you may be able to adjust your medication
independently according to a pre-determined
dose-INR schedule developed for you by your
doctor.
Introduction
CoaguChek INRange User’s Manual

11
Self-monitoring and self-adjustment of oral
anti coagulation therapy using coagulation
values determined with the CoaguChek
INRange system may only be undertaken
after consultation with your doctor and
comprehensive instruction by a qualied
healthcare professional.
Your pharmacist/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.
This manual contains all the information
you need to operate and care for the
CoaguChek INRange System. Please read
this entire manual carefully before you
use the meter.
Introduction
CoaguChek INRange User’s Manual

12
The CoaguChek INRange System
The CoaguChek INRange System makes
coagulation testing easy. The graphical user
interface of the CoaguChek INRange meter
guides you through the test step by step.
The code chip accompanying the test strips
contains strip lot-specic information 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.
The CoaguChek INRange meter measures
your coagulation time and displays the result.
After the test is completed, the meter auto-
matically saves the result to memory.

If you have any questions about the
CoaguChek INRange meter, please contact
your local customer support and service cen-
ter. You will nd contact details on page 138.
Please note: Before you use the meter for
the rst time (i.e. after you have rst in-
serted the batteries), you must set the date
and time correctly to allow you to carry out
measurements properly. Each time you re-
place the batteries, you need to check (and,
if necessary, adjust) the date and time.
Note on screenshots:
The test results and software and hardware
information shown in the screenshots in
this manual are for illustration purposes
only. The information displayed on your
meter may differ.

Test principle
The CoaguChek XS PT Test PST test strip
contains a lyophilized reagent (reagent in
dried form). The reactive components of
this reagent consist of thromboplastin and a
peptide substrate. When a sample is applied,
thromboplastin 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 pep-
tide substrate, generating an electrochemical
signal. Depending on the time elapsed when
it rst 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 INRange
System functions properly, please observe the
following guidelines:
• Only use the meter at a 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 that 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 4000 meters.
Electromagnetic interference
Strong electromagnetic elds may interfere
with the proper operation of the meter. Do not
use the meter near strong electromagnetic
elds.

Quality control
The CoaguChek INRange 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 tests and system
checks using control test solutions (that you
may be familiar with from other systems) are
no longer required.
