Intended use
The CoaguChek
®
XS Pro system (CoaguChek XS Pro meter and CoaguChek XS PT Test strips)
quantitatively determines prothrombin time (“PT”), using capillary blood or whole blood from a
vein (nonanticoagulated venous whole blood). It is indicated for use by healthcare professionals.
The system is ideally suited to monitor coagulation values in people who are taking oral anti-
coagulation medication (vitamin K antagonists, VKAs).
Important information regarding use
Read this operator's manual, as well as the package inserts for all relevant consumables, before
using the system for the first time.
You must configure the CoaguChek XS Pro meter according to your needs before initial use. Refer
to chapter 4 Meter Setup. Be sure to read the Important safety instructions and additional informa-
tion section in this chapter before operating the system.
Before you use the meter for the first time ( after you have first inserted the batteries), you
must set the date and time correctly to allow you to perform measurements properly. Each
time you replace the batteries you need to check (and, if necessary adjust) the date and
time.
