Additional Codes

Test Name in EPIC      EPIC Test Code   Mnemonic
TEG PLATELET MAPPING LABTEGPLM PLM

 

Methodology

TEG 6s Hemostasis analyzer using the PlateletMapping ADP & AA Cartridge.

The system provides semi-quantitative indications of the hemostatic state of a whole blood sample.

Clinical Information

TEG 6s Hemostasis System is intended for in vitro diagnostic use to provide
qualitative assessment of platelet function and semi-quantitative indications of
the hemostasis state of a blood sample.


Hemostasis evaluation using the Platelet Mapping assay 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 Green top Lithium Heparin - no gel

 

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 4 hours of draw.
