The meter was requested for return.The test strips were no longer available.The product has not been received at this time.If the product is returned in the future, a follow-up report will be submitted.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." per product labeling: "the presence of anti-phospholipid antibodies (apas) such as lupus antibodies (la) may lead to prolonged clotting times, i.E., they may cause false-high inr values.If you have or suspect that you have apas, discontinue testing until you discuss with your physician.".

The returned meter was measured with the retention test strips 57261210 in comparison to the current test strip master lot.For this purpose, two human blood samples from marcumar donors and internal reference meters were used.Reference meter: test 1: 3.5 inr, test 2: 2.5 inr.Customer meter: test 1: 3.3 inr, test 2: 2.4 inr.All inr values were within the specified target ranges, confirming the functionality of the coaguchek measuring system.No error messages occurred.The returned customer material and retention material comply with specifications.
