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

hensive instruction by a qualified healthcare professional. Your pharma-

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.
