: Operating instructions with Coaguchek S Apparatus

.As soon as the drop of blood is added and be mixed with the reagent and iron particles, the timer starts
.The apparatus generates an oscillating magnetic field that drives the particles of iron oxide, and that the launch monitored photometrically
.When a blood clot particles stop moving and the camera stops counting
.Using data from the chip code-recorded time is converted to INR, percentage and prothrombin index (PR), and the display shows the result in the selected units
.The device works on a magnetic principle

.It is therefore essential to keep away apparatus and the tapes from any source of magnetism, such as mobile phones, microwave ovens, speakers and the like
.Coaguchek S can be powered by batteries or through an AC adapter
.Although it can only work with batteries or with an adapter, it is best that the batteries are inserted in the apparatus, and whenever possible, use the AC adapter to conserve battery
.Then the possibilities of the apparatus used for maximum battery allow memorizing dates and operation of independent power source, while the adapter allows an unlimited number of opinions
