General note The data and information provided in this manual are

mation, 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
