Section e3: occupation is patient/consumer.The coaguchek xs meter's serial number was (b)(6).The strips were requested for investigation.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.The patient was advised about the below limitations with reference to the package insert and he was also advised to contact his doctor.Product labeling states: "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." product labeling states: "hematocrit ranges between 25-55 % do not significantly affect results." since the acceptable range for coaguchek system is 25-55% and the patient's hct is currently 55.7% and has been as high as 70%, then this would put both results out of range.The patient pricked the same finger for the other measurement.For a second measurement a new puncture of a different finger is mandatory.Product labeling states: "if you need to redo a test, use a new lancet, a new test strip, and a different finger.".
