Product Information

The Diagnostics Advisory Committee reviewed the evidence available on the clinical and cost effectiveness of self-monitoring coagulometers for self-testing or self-managing coagulation status in people on long-term vitamin K antagonist therapy who have atrial fibrillation or heart valve disease. the patient or their carer is both physically and cognitively able to do the self-monitoring effectively. The evidence on the clinical effectiveness of the coagulometers for monitoring coagulation status was summarised by the External Assessment Group in 3 categories: intermediate outcomes, clinical outcomes, and patient-reported outcomes. Evidence on intermediate outcomes Time and values in therapeutic range April 2022, Roche Diagnostics will partner with Williams Medical We’re pleased to announce that from 4th April 2022, Williams Medical and Roche Diagnostics will be joining forces

Of the 21 trials, 2 trials enrolled participants with atrial fibrillation, 6 trials enrolled participants with artificial heart valves and 13 trials enrolled participants with mixed indication. No statistically significant subgroup differences were found for bleeding events according to the type of clinical indication or the type of control standard care. Thromboembolic eventsTarget range aware: Once you set up targets in your CoaguChek INRange, it will clearly let the patient know about results out of that range. The Committee considered the differences in clinical outcomes between people who were self-managing their anticoagulation control and those who were self-testing. The Committee noted that there was a statistically significantly greater reduction in thromboembolic events among people who self-managed compared with those who self-tested. The Committee also noted that when only minor bleeding events were assessed, a statistically significantly increased risk was seen in self-testing participants compared with those in standard care. All-cause mortality was also lower through self-management but not through self-testing. The Committee discussed possible reasons for the differences in results between self-managing and self-testing and it heard from clinical specialists that people who self-manage their coagulation control may behave differently to those who self-test because they have greater responsibility for managing their coagulation control. The Committee noted that the largest trial in the assessment of self-testing did not show a reduction in clinical adverse events but did show an increase in the time in therapeutic range (Matchar et al. 2010). The Committee also noted that this trial had a high standard of coagulation control in the control arm, which could explain why no statistically significant difference in clinical adverse events between the self-testing group and the standard care group was detected. The Committee concluded that the high standard of coagulation control in the control arm of the trial may not reflect general UK clinical practice and so it was plausible that the increase in time in therapeutic range would lead to a statistically significant reduction in clinical adverse events if compared with UK standard coagulation control practice. The Committee concluded that self-testing and self-managing were likely to be clinically effective and that self-testing was often a step towards self-management in clinical practice.

Value": "The CoaguChek ® INRange system, consisting of the CoaguChek INRange meter and the CoaguChek XS ® PT Test PST test strip, is intended for the determination of prothrombin time (PT) in fresh capillary blood. It is intended for use by properly selected and appropriately trained patients and their respective caregivers. Twenty one trials reported 351 major and minor thromboembolic events in a total of 8394 participants. Self-monitoring (self-testing and self-management) showed a statistically significant reduction in the risk of thromboembolic events by 42% (RR 0.58, 95% CI 0.40 to 0.84, p=0.004) compared with standard care. The risk reduction further increased to 48% when only major thromboembolic events were considered (RR 0.52, 95% CI 0.34 to 0.80, p=0.003). The risk of thromboembolic events substantially decreased when the analyses were restricted to non-UK trials (RR 0.50, 95% CI 0.32, 0.76, p=0.001); to CoaguChek trials (RR 0.52, 95% CI 0.38, 0.71, p<0.0001); and to trials at low risk of bias (RR 0.38, 95% CI 0.16 to 0.92, p=0.03).

The time when this initial minimum impedance is achieved is registered by the monitor as the start of the coagulation. As the reaction progresses, the sample impedance increases to a maximum and then gradually drops as the clotting proceeds. The elapsed time, in seconds, from the start until the clotting end point is reached is the prothrombin time. The monitor software calculates the INR of the sample using prothrombin time and calibration coefficients. Test principle: electrochemical measurement of thromboplastin time after activation of blood coagulation with human recombinant thromboplastin The CoaguChek XS system is recommended for self-monitoring coagulation status in people on long-term vitamin K antagonist therapy who have atrial fibrillation or heart valve disease if: CoaguChek technology and quality have been recognised to facilitate VKA patient self-testing in a safe, accurate and reliable manner. 1
