Methodology
TEG 6s Hemostasis analyzer using the TEG Citrated Multichannel Cartridge.
The system provides semi-quantitative indications of the hemostatic state of a whole blood sample.
Clinical Information
These assay cartridges are intended for use in cardiovascular surgery and cardiology procedures for the assessment of hemostatic conditions associated with hemorrhage or thrombosis.
Hemostasis evaluation with the Citrated Multichannel Cartridge is used to
assess clinical conditions in cardiovascular surgery and cardiology procedures
to assess hemorrhage or thrombosis conditions.
Results obtained with the TEG 6s Hemostasis System are intended to aid the clinician in the assessment of a patient’s hemostatic status and should be interpreted in conjunction with the patient’s clinical condition, other laboratory findings, and standard clinical practice.
Specimen Requirements
A plain, red-top or plain white top (for waste purposes) and 3.2% Sodium Citrate tube
Blood must be drawn in the following sequence using a 21-gauge needle. Under no circumstances should a smaller gauge needle be used. The use of a butterfly needle with tubing is specifically recommended if available, as it puts less pressure on the vein.
Specimen Type: Whole blood
Container/Tube: Plain, red-top tube
Specimen Type: Sodium citrate whole blood
Container/Tube: 3.2% sodium citrate tube
All blood tubes must be filled completely (until vacuum is exhausted). A short draw is not an acceptable sample.
Collection Instructions: Mix gently and deliver STAT. Do not centrifuge. Tubes must be full. Mix gently but thoroughly.
Specimens must be analyzed within 4 hours of draw.
