TEG GLOBAL HEMOSTASIS WITH LYSIS ASSAY(TRAUMA) LABTEGGHAL TEG LYSIS

 

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

This assay cartridge is intended for use in a trauma setting for the assessment of hemostatic conditions associated with hemorrhage or thrombosis.


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 2 hours of draw.
