Integrated Quality Controls
The CoaguChek XS System has built-in quality control
functions in the meter and test strips. The meter
automatically runs its own quality control test as part
of every blood test, so you never have to run quality
control tests with liquid quality controls.
When the quality control test runs, the letters QC flash
on the meter's display. When the quality control test is
finished, a checkmark (3) appears following the letters
QC. Then the meter continues to run the blood test.

If the quality control test fails, the
meter displays this error message.
See the Error Messages section in
this manual for an explanation of
this and other error messages and
what to do when they occur.
