Product Description

CoaguSense 03P56-50 - Coag Reagent Strip Kit 50 10x14x6 Ea

The Coag-Sense Prothrombin Time (PT)/INR System is used for quantitative measurement of Prothrombin Time (PT) in fresh, capillary whole blood. The Coag-Sense PT/INR system is intended for use outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use) to test patients taking warfarin-type oral anticoagulant (blood thinning) therapy who need to monitor clotting time.

The meter performs a self-test when it is first turned on. If there are any problems with the meter, an error message is shown on the display. Refer to the Troubleshooting section of this manual or contact Technical Support.

A test strip is inserted and heated in the meter prior to sample application. The strip contains a tiny wheel with spokes that pull the sample into the reaction well. The spokes quickly and completely mix the sample with the clot initiating component of the test strip.

The PT time is determined from when (a) the sample is drawn into the reaction well of the test strip and detected by a beam of light until (b) a clot forms and interrupts the beam of light. The PT result is converted to an INR (International Normalized Ratio) using the calibration data stored in the meter. INR is a mathematical correction of the PT result that adjusts for sensitivity differences among different PT systems.

The meter continues to check every feature of its operation through a series of self-checks.

  • 50 Patient Test Strips.
  • 2 Low Control Strips.
  • 2 High Control Strips.
  • 1 Control Strip Activation Solution.
  • 54 Sample Transfer Tubes.

  • Refer to the package insert that is supplied with each box of test strips for more information.

Benefits of the test stripes

  • Portable, yet stable design.
  • Barcoding on each test strip no calibration code input or chip required.
  • No test strip refrigeration required.
  • No electrodes to clean or worry about.
  • Enclosed detection wheel in each strip eliminates cross contamination risk.
  • Testing, treatment and potential revenue capture in one appointment.
  • Support from Abbott you can rely upon.

Control Strips

Quality control is an important part of PT time testing. Using the high and low control strips ensures you are performing the steps of the test correctly. It also ensures that your Coag-Sense System is working properly and that reagent in the test strips is working as expected.

Your test strip includes true control strips containing the same thromboplastin reagent as the test strip along with plasma of known INR. One high and one low control should be tested before using a new PT test strip lot. Controls should also be tested if you have unexpected results. There are 2 low control strips, 2 high control strips and one control activation solution vial shipped with each new box of test strips. Additional controls may be ordered separately. See Performing a Control Test in this manual.
