Quality control
The CoaguChek XS System has a number of inbuilt quality-control
functions such as:
■ A check of the electronic components and functions every time the
monitor is turned on.
■ A check of the test strip temperature while a test is in progress.
■ A check of the expiry date and lot information on the test strip.
■ A quality control function is incorporated into the test strip. Quality
control and system checks using control test solutions that you may
be familiar with from other systems are no longer required.
