overview

Primary care, urgent care, and hospitals demand fast, reliable PT/INR testing for oral anticoagulation therapy (OAT). That’s why Siemens is introducing the Xprecia Stride™ Coagulation Analyzer, a truly handheld device that tests PT/INR with lab accuracy.
The Xprecia Stride analyzer is ergonomically designed, with a large, intuitive touchscreen to enhance the user experience, simplify work flow, and improve overall testing accuracy. Together, these features make the testing process seamless and help minimize errors.

technical specifications

Xprecia™ Data Management Software (DMS) 
Provides a simple, easy way to transfer data to and from the Xprecia Stride analyzer and a PC. The analyzer connects to a computer via USB to transmit:

• Operator ID list; analyzer and operator settings
• Analyzer software (firmware) upgrades
• Patient and Liquid Quality Control results
• Analyzer fault log

Results Displayed

• International Normalized Ratio (INR)
• Calculated seconds

Electronic Quality Control (EQC) 
Two quality-control checks verify the integrity of the test strips. The first control checks the presence of adequate sample and reagents on the test strip, and the second control detects test strip degradation due to exposure to environmental conditions. If either control fails, the system reports an error rather than an incorrect result.

Liquid Quality Control (LQC) 
LQC tests help meet regulatory compliance requirements applicable to your facility. Use control solutions to perform quality-control checks on both the analyzer and test strips to ensure they are functioning correctly.
