CoaguChek XS PT Test

CoaguChek XS PT Test

The CoaguChek XS PT test strips are used to monitor blood coagulation (INR-/% Quick values) with the CoaguChek XS and CoaguChek XS Plus meters. Only a small amount of blood is needed for the coagulation test and the measurement time is only approximately 60 seconds. This makes testing with the CoaguChek XS PT test particularly gentle for the patient and easy to perform. Thus, the strips are also suitable for self-testing.

The CoaguChek test from Roche is optionally available in a pack of 24 or 48 test strips. In addition, a coding chip is included in each pack.
