The CoaguChek XS Plus System is intended for use by professional healthcare providers for quantitative prothrombin time testing for the monitoring of warfarin therapy. The system uses fresh capillary or non-anticoagulated venous whole blood.
Device Story
Portable coagulation monitoring system; monitors prothrombin time (PT) in patients on warfarin therapy. Input: 8 μL fresh capillary or non-anticoagulated venous whole blood applied to test strip. Operation: Amperometric detection of thrombin; onboard quality control on every strip; optional external quality control material. Output: Quantitative PT value displayed to clinician. Used in clinical settings by professional healthcare providers. Modifications include: clear plastic window for barcode scanner; internal housing adjustment for rechargeable battery; updated maintenance cleaning process for test strip guide. Output informs warfarin therapy management; benefits patient through convenient, point-of-care monitoring.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only; no clinical data provided. Verification and validation activities performed based on risk analysis of hardware and software modifications.
Technological Characteristics
Point-of-care coagulation meter. Features: integrated barcode scanner, USB-C power interface (charging only), rechargeable battery pack, temperature sensor for heater monitoring. Software includes HSC2 failsafe error detection. Sterilization/materials not specified.
Indications for Use
Indicated for professional healthcare providers to perform quantitative prothrombin time testing for monitoring warfarin therapy in patients using fresh capillary or non-anticoagulated venous whole blood.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A prothrombin time test is a device used as a general screening procedure for the detection of possible clotting factor deficiencies in the extrinsic coagulation pathway, which involves the reaction between coagulation factors III and VII, and to monitor patients receiving coumarin therapy (the administration of one of the coumarin anticoagulants in the treatment of venous thrombosis or pulmonary embolism).

## II Review Summary:
This 510(k) submission contains information/data on modifications made to the submitter's own CLASS II device requiring 510(k). The following items are present and acceptable.
1. The name and 510(k) number of the SUBMITTER'S previously cleared device.
2. Submitter's statement that the INDICATIONS FOR USE/INTENDED USE of the modified device as described in its labeling HAS NOT CHANGED along with the proposed labeling which includes instructions for use, package labeling, and, if available, advertisements or promotional materials (labeling changes are permitted as long as they do not affect the intended use).
3. A description of the device MODIFICATION(S), including clearly labeled diagrams, engineering drawings, photographs, user's and/or service manuals in sufficient detail to demonstrate that the FUNDAMENTAL SCIENTIFIC TECHNOLOGY of the modified device has not changed. This change was for:
- Added barcode scanner built into the meter housing.

- Added routine maintenance cleaning process with water and cleaning of the clear plastic barcode window with a dry cloth.
- Added temperature sensor below the test strip guide to detect a heater malfunction and Heater Self Check 2 (HSC2) failsafe error implemented in the software.
- A modified printed circuit board (PCB) due to the addition of a barcode scanner and component obsolescence. The PCB changed from a barrel connector to a USB C connector for AC power adapter charging capability only. No data transfer is possible via the USB C connector.
- Added rechargeable battery pack to replace the four standard type AA alkaline non-rechargeable batteries with a new dimensional footprint installed in the meter. The meter can also be powered by the AC power adapter provided via the USB C connector with the rechargeable battery installed.
- Added hardware and software for the use of a barcode scanner.
4. Comparison Information (i.e., similarities and differences) to the submitter's legally marketed predicate device including, labeling, intended use, and physical characteristics.
5. A Design Control Activities Summary which includes:
a) Identification of Risk Analysis method(s) used to assess the impact of the modification on the device and its components, and the results of the analysis.
b) Based on the Risk Analysis, an identification of the verification and/or validation activities required, including methods or tests used and acceptance criteria to be applied.
The labeling for this modified subject device has been reviewed to verify that the indication/intended use for the device is unaffected by the modification. In addition, the submitter's description of the particular modification(s) and the comparative information between the modified and unmodified devices demonstrate that the fundamental scientific technology has not changed. The submitter has provided the design control information as specified in The New 510(k) Paradigm and on this basis, I recommend the device be determined substantially equivalent to the previously cleared device.
