An Observational Trial to Assess the Performance of the TEG® 6s Diagnostic System With the Citrated K, KH, RTH, FFH Cartridge

The TEG® 6s uses the Global Hemostasis with Heparin Neutralization (HN) Cartridge to test the hemostasis properties of citrated blood samples using four different assays/reagents simultaneously, one in each of the four cartridge channels.

"Diagnostic Test: Clauss Fibrinogen Fibrinogen, also known as Factor I, is a plasma protein that can be transformed by thrombin into a fibrin gel (the clot). Fibrinogen is synthesized in the liver and circulates in the plasma as a disulfide-bonded dimer of 3 subunit chains. The biological half-life of plasma fibrinogen is 3 to 5 days."
