1 Introduction
1.1 Before you start
Intended use The CoaguChek® Pro II system (consisting of the
CoaguChek Pro II meter and the CoaguChek family of test
strips) is used for the determination of PT and aPTT by
healthcare professionals in a Point of Care environment.
11
Important information regarding use
Read this operator's manual, as well as the package
inserts for all relevant consumables, before using the
system for the first time.
You must configure the CoaguChek Pro II meter according to your needs before initial use. Refer to chapter 3,
Meter Setup. Be sure to read the “Important safety
instructions and additional information” section in this
chapter before operating the system.
Before you use the meter for the first time (after you
have first inserted the battery pack), you must set the
date and time correctly to allow you to perform measurements properly. Each time you replace the battery
pack you need to check (and, if necessary adjust) the
date and time.
QC Lockout is disabled by default. For routine confirmation of system reliability it is recommended to enable
this feature.

If you need help Information about using the system, the screen menus,
and performing a test can be found in this manual.
When error messages appear on the screen, refer to
chapter 9, Troubleshooting.
For all questions about the CoaguChek Pro II system that
are not answered in this manual, contact your Roche
Diagnostics representative. In order to expedite troubleshooting, please have ready your CoaguChek Pro II
meter, its serial number, this manual, and all related consumables when you call.
General note The data and information provided in this manual are
current as of issue. Any substantial changes will be incorporated in the next edition. If there is any conflict of information, the package insert included with the CoaguChek
test strips shall prevail.
What can the system do for you? The CoaguChek Pro II system makes coagulation testing
easy. You only need to insert the code chip, power the
meter on, insert the test strip, and apply a small blood
sample. The blood mixes with the reagents on the test
strip, and the meter determines when the blood clots.
Depending on which test parameter is selected, the
meter displays the results after approximately one minute
(PT) or after several minutes (aPTT). After the
measurement, the meter automatically stores the test
result, together with date/time and patient ID (and
operator ID, if that option is enabled) to memory.
The CoaguChek Pro II meter displays test results in units
equivalent to laboratory plasma measurements. Results
may be displayed in the following ways:
■ Parameter: aPTT
– seconds
■ Parameter: PT
– International Normalized Ratio (INR)
– combination of INR/seconds, or
– combination of INR/%Quick
INR is a standardized measurement of the rate at which
blood clots. A low INR can indicate an increased risk of
blood clots, while an elevated INR can indicate increased
risk of bleeding.
The meter guides you through the test, step by step,
using icons and instructions on the display. Each box of
test strips has its own code chip that you insert into the
meter. This code chip contains lot-specific information
about its test strips, such as the expiration date and calibration data. Optional liquid controls for the system are
also available.
The CoaguChek Pro II meter has the ability to connect to
a data management system (DMS) through the Handheld
Base Unit from Roche Diagnostics (available separately)
or via wireless communication (WLAN). The CoaguChek
Pro II meter supports data exchange via the POCT1A
standard. Data management systems may have the ability
to expand the security features of the meter, such as enabling operator lockouts. Data management systems may
also enable data transfer from a HIS and/or to a LIS. Refer
to the manuals of the Handheld Base Unit and of your
DMS for technical details.
13
Test principle The CoaguChek Tests contain desiccated reagents.
These consist of activators, a peptide substrate, and nonreactive components. When a sample is applied to a test
strip, the reagent dissolves and the activators start the
coagulation process, leading to the formation of the
enzyme thrombin. Simultaneously the meter starts to
measure the time. Thrombin cleaves the peptide substrate, generating an electrochemical signal. Depending
on the time elapsed when this signal first appears, it is
converted via an algorithm into customary coagulation
units (depending on the test, into INR, %Quick, or
seconds) and the result is displayed.
