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.

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.

Specimens must be analyzed within 2 hours of draw.
