In this article, we'll cover the most important aspects of the CoaguChek Pro II including its technical features, the brand name and the Roche and useful information for users. Let's discover together how this device can revolutionize blood coagulation measurement at home.

CoaguCeck Introduction

The CoaguChek® system enables patients to measure their coagulation values themselves. This increases safety and quality of life, as they can adjust their medication doses independently. The measurement is performed with a small drop of blood from the fingertip, similar to a blood glucose test, and only requires a sample volume of 8µl.

Functions of CoaguChek®:

1. Fast results:
2. • PT values: < 1 minute
   • aPTT values: several minutes
2. Ease of use:
3. • Easy to use
   • Low pain, as no venipuncture is necessary
3. Comprehensive analysis:
4. • Determination of PT values
   • Determination of the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT)

The CoaguChek devices are gentle on the veins and very user-friendly. The fast and precise determination of coagulation values makes the system ideal for home use.

Simple 4-step instructions for determining test results

The use of the CoaguChek system is quick and easy. Here is a step-by-step guide to accurately determine your coagulation value:

1. Insert test stripTake a single test strip and place it in the meter to start the test.
2. Draw blood: Use the CoaguChek XS Softclix lancing deviceto obtain a small drop of blood from the fingertip almost painlessly.
3. Apply bloodApply the drop of blood to the test strip within 15 seconds.
4. Read the resultAfter about one minute you can read the current coagulation value on the display.

This simple handling enables an accurate determination of the coagulation value. With the help of CoaguChek technology, you receive laboratory-comparable measurement results directly at home. So you can keep an eye on your health at all times without being restricted to Monday to Friday.

Summary:

With these user-friendly instructions, you can monitor your coagulation values easily and effectively.

Advantages of CoaguChek systems

• Accurate determination of blood coagulation values
• Simple handling and user-friendly
• Reliable and laboratory-comparable results

For patients CoaguChek is a practical solution for monitoring their health.

Current information for CoaguChek users

More than 200,000 patients in Germany use CoaguChekto measure their coagulation levels themselves. This helps them to adjust their medication dose and shows how easy the system is to use. The CoaguChek Pro II provides accurate results that are not affected by fibrinogen or hematocrit levels in just one minute. For CoaguChek users, the XS and INRange models are ideal. They allow painless blood collection with only 8 µl of capillary blood. The test results can be transmitted securely via Wifi, QR code or Ethernet. The CoaguChek Pro II meets the RiliBÄK standards and is suitable for practices and home visits.

Coagulation measurement by relatives

Even if patients are unable to measure themselves, relatives can do this. A training course shows them how to carry out the measurement correctly. A small prick in the fingertip is enough to obtain sufficient blood for the analysis. The use of CoaguChek is quick and easy. Regular measurements by relatives can increase safety and make it easier to adjust medication.

Coagulation measurement also possible by relatives

Coagulation measurement is not just restricted to healthcare professionals. Relatives can learn the technique to support patients who feel unsure about taking the measurement themselves. Training is available to ensure that relatives can use the technique safely and effectively.

Benefits of family involvement:

• Ease of useThe devices are designed in such a way that even laypersons can achieve precise measurement results.
• Support in everyday lifeRelatives who carry out the measurement provide additional safety for the patient.
• Availability of aidsInstructions and training materials are available to make it easier to learn how to measure.

This option relieves the patient and provides an additional safety net in everyday life. Learning and carrying out coagulation measurement is therefore also feasible for relatives, thanks to the simple handling of the devices.

This also offers the advantage that relatives are better integrated into the treatment and can thus reliably monitor the current coagulation value. This improves the patient's quality of life and enables closer care.
