VARIATIONS IN COAGUCHEK INR VALUES

STATEMENT FOR USE ON WEBSITES AND SOCIAL MEDIA

We are aware that there have been a number of reports of variations (either higher or lower) in the INR values of CoaguChek test strips when compared to laboratory tests.

We have immediately initiated investigations and they are currently in progress.

Patient safety is of paramount importance to us and we pride ourselves on working to the highest quality standards.

If you have any concerns regarding a recent result, your condition or any other concerns, please contact your GP, nurse or pharmacist and call our Careline on 0808 100 7666 (UK) / 1 800 99 2868 (Ireland) (or send an email to burgesshill.coagpts@roche.com).
