## Indications for use
The TEG 6s Hemostasis System consists of the TEG 6s Hemostasis Analyzer and the Citrated: K, KH, RTH, FFH assay cartridge. The TEG 6s Hemostasis System is intended for in vitro diagnostic use with adult patients where an evaluation of their blood hemostasis properties is desired. The TEG 6s Hemostasis System records the kinetic changes in a sample of 3.2% citrated whole blood as the sample clots and provides semi-quantitative results. The TEG 6s Hemostasis System can be used in the laboratory or at the point-of-care. The Citrated: K, KH, RTH, FFH assay cartridge is intended to be used in patients where heparin/heparinoids may be present and who are at an increased risk of coagulopathy. Hemostasis evaluations are indicated to assess clinical conditions in cardiovascular surgery, cardiovascular procedures (e.g. minimally invasive valve replacement or repairs) and liver transplantation to assess hemorrhage or thrombosis conditions before, during and following the procedure. The Citrated: K, KH, RTH, FFH assay cartridge contains four independent assays (CK, CKH, CRTH and CFFH) and the system output consists of a table of numerical values for parameters R, MA, and LY30. The CK assay monitors the hemostasis process via the intrinsic pathway in 3.2% citrated whole blood specimens on the TEG 6s Hemostasis System. Clotting characteristics are described by the functional parameters R (clotting time) and MA (maximum clot strength). The CKH assay monitors the effects of heparin in 3.2% citrated whole blood specimens on the TEG 6s Hemostasis System. CKH is used in conjunction with CK, and heparin influence is determined by comparing Clotting Times (R) between the two tests. LY30 describes fibrinolysis 30 minutes after reaching maximum clot strength. The CRTH assay monitors the hemostasis process after stimulation of both the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways in 3.2% citrated whole blood specimens on the TEG 6s Hemostasis System, neutralizing the effect of heparin in the sample. Clotting characteristics are described by the functional parameter MA (maximum clot strength with contributions of both platelets and fibrin). The CFFH assay monitors hemostasis of 3.2% citrated whole blood specimens in the TEG 6s Hemostasis System after blocking platelet contributions to clot strength, neutralizing the effect of heparin in the sample. Clotting characteristics are described by the functional parameter MA (fibrinogen contribution to maximum clot strength). Results from the TEG 6s analysis should not be the sole basis for a patient diagnosis, but should be evaluated together with the patient's medical history, the clinical picture and, if necessary, further hemostasis tests. For professional use only.
