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 (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: Lithium heparin whole blood (no gel)
Container/Tube: Lithium heparin whole blood (no gel)
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.
