The returned test strips were measured on reference meters with a high-level control sample: all inr values were within the specified target ranges, confirming the functionality of the complained coaguchek test strips.Test 1: 2.9 inr, test 2: 2.8 inr, test 3: 2.9 inr.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.The returned customer material and retention material complied with the specification.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." iniital reporter occupation was lay user/patient.

There was an allegation of a questionable result from a coaguchek inrange meter.The serial number was requested but was not provided.In the morning at an unknown time, the result from a laboratory using an unknown reagent was 2.7 inr.At 7:15 am, the result from the meter was 1.6 inr.The therapeutic range was 2.0-2.5 inr.The testing frequency was not provided.
