Manufacturer Narrative

The customer's meter and test strips were requested for investigation.The returned test strips were measured in comparison with the current test strip master lot.For this purpose, two human blood samples from marcumar donors and internal reference meters were used.Marcumar donor 1 hematocrit = 44 %; marcumar donor 2 hematocrit = 37 %.Testing results: marcumar donor 1 with master lot strips = 2.4 inr; marcumar donor 1 with returned strips = 2.5 inr; marcumar donor 2 with master lot strips = 2.0 inr; marcumar donor 2 with returned strips = 2.0 inr.All inr values were within the specified target ranges, confirming the functionality of the coaguchek measuring system.No error messages occurred.On a regular basis, coaguchek strips of lots currently valid in the market are tested as part of routine retention testing and results have passed the internal inspection.Per product labeling: "coaguchek uses human recombinant thromboplastin.Therefore, the comparability to other human recombinant thromboplastins is best, whereas higher deviations can occur with other thromboplastins.However, those higher differences between thromboplastins of different (rabbit, bovine based) origin are not a coaguchek specific issue.Similar differences can be observed when a human recombinant thromboplastin-based laboratory method is compared against several other (rabbit, bovine-based) laboratory methods." upon review of the meter's patient result memory, the following were the only values listed for (b)(6) 2022: 2.4 inr at 06:13 on (b)(6) 2022; 2.2 inr at 06:15 on (b)(6) 2022.
