Coaguchek Meter

Does any one know how often Coaguchek meters should be callibrated?

Hi Micran.

CoaguChek meters carry out an internal quality control test with every test. The procedure adopted by my GP Practice which uses a "multi-user" version of the CoaguChek XS is to have a check test carried out by a traditional laboratory once per week. The normal procedure for a single user CoaguChek XS is to have a correlation test done at the GP or anticoag clinic on the same day as your test once every 6 or 12 months to ensure it is reading correctly. Hope this helps.

Every six months at some hospitals but best to check this out with several hospitals or Roche Diagnostics.

This is rubbish and should be ignored
