Quality assessment of CoaguChek point-of-care prothrombin time monitors: comparison of the European community-approved procedure and conventional external quality assessment.

BACKGROUND There is a need for dependable quality assessment (QA) of the widely used CoaguChek point-of-care testing prothrombin time monitor. By use of the prescribed set of 5 CoaguChek certified international normalized ratio (INR) QA plasmas, we compared the reliability of the immediate QA of individual monitors described in the European Community-recommended Technology Implementation Plan w...

CoaguChek point-of-care testing prothrombin time monitors.

A system for quality assessment (QA) of the CoaguChek (Roche Diagnostics, Mannheim, Germany) point-of-care testing prothrombin time monitor has been developed by the European Concerted Action on Anticoagulation. Hitherto there has not been an adequate rapid method for CoaguChek QA. Sets of 5 certified international normalized ratio (INR) plasma samples were tested on 539 CoaguChek monitors by e...

European concerted action on anticoagulation. Quality assessment of the CoaguChek Mini and TAS PT-NC point-of-care whole-blood prothrombin time monitors.

BACKGROUND International Normalized Ratios (INRs) for prothrombin time obtained with the CoaguChek Mini and TAS (RapidPointCoag) PT-NC systems are markedly different and also differ from the "true" INR. There is therefore a need for local quality assessment (QA) of the two systems. METHODS A set of 60 lyophilized artificially depleted and 60 lyophilized coumarin plasmas were tested at 10 cent...
