Event Description
|
We received an allegation that a patient had a stroke while using coaguchek xs meter serial number (b)(4).There was also an allegation of discrepant results between the coaguchek xs meter and unknown laboratory methods.On (b)(6) 2022, the patient allegedly had a stroke due to thromboembolism from a prosthetic valve.On that date, the result reported to be from the meter was 2.0 inr.No other comparative measurements were made.The patient alleges the inr result was "actually well below 2.0" inr at that time since a value of 2.0 inr is within his therapeutic range of 2.0 to 3.0 inr, and "stroke cannot occur at this inr." on (b)(6) 2022 the result from one laboratory from an unknown laboratory method was reportedly 2.9 inr.The result from a different laboratory using an unknown method was reportedly 3.66 inr.The result from the meter was reportedly 4.0 inr.All tests were performed within 4 hours.The lot number of the test strips used for this test was not provided and the strips are not available for investigation.On (b)(6) 2023, at 8:17 a.M.The result from the meter was reportedly 7.5 inr.Within one hour, the result from an unknown laboratory method was reportedly 4.63 inr.The lot number of the test strips used for this test was 60124817 with an expiration date of 31-oct-2023.The patient's therapeutic range was reportedly 2.0 to 3.0 inr.

Occupation is patient/consumer (patient's sister).The lot number of the test strips used for the meter result of 7.5 inr was 60124817 with an expiration date of 31-oct-2023.The lot number of the test strips used for the meter result of 4.0 inr was not provided and the strips are not available for investigation.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 patient's meter was checked by the service center and all test results were within range.The meter was returned to the patient.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.
