QA5 Capillary Anticoagulation Control (Near Patient Testing)

This package is designed for the users of a variety of near-patient testing systems such as CoaguChek S, Thrombotest and Manchester Capillary Reagent. One sample is distributed every month with suitable reconstitution fluids and test method dependent on instrument/reagent combinations. A rapid-turnaround of results is employed. Samples represent a variety of anticoagulation intensities and are provided as freeze-dried plasmas with instructions on how to standardize their usage in a "whole blood" procedure. These are instrument-specific. A number of GP practices take part in this package.

CoaguChek XS is currently in pilot stages
