6 Control Testing and Quality Control
The CoaguChek XS Pro meter has a number of built-in
quality control functions.
■
A check of the electronic components and func-
tions every time the meter is powered on.
■
A check of the test strip temperature while a test is
in progress.
■
A check of the expiration date and lot information
on the test strip carried out by the code chip.
■
A two-level, onboard quality control test and
patient result determination within a single test
chamber.
Roche offers optional liquid quality controls for the
CoaguChek XS Pro system. These controls are provided
to assist with regulatory compliance requirements as
applicable to your facility.
To perform an optional liquid quality control test using
control solutions, you need:
■
CoaguChek XS Pro meter
■
The test strip code chip supplied with the test strip
container you are using. A code chip is provided
with every test strip pack.
■
Test strips that came with the code chip mentioned
above
■
Bottles of CoaguChek XS PT Controls (not available
in the United States) or CoaguChek XS Pro PT Con-
trols, diluent droppers, and the quality control code
chip provided.
You can choose the frequency of liquid quality control
tests in the meter setup. (Refer to the chapter entitled
“Meter Setup”/“QC (quality control) Lockout” starting on
page 67). If the control results in the display are in the
specified range, this confirms that the liquid control test
was performed correctly.
