## Indications for use
The TEG 6s Hemostasis System is intended for in vitro diagnostic use to provide semi-quantitative indications of the hemostasis state of a 3.2% citrated whole blood sample. The Citrated: K, KH, RT, FF Assay Cartridge, to be used with the TEG 6s analyzer, contains four independent assays (CK, CKH, CRT, and CFF), described below. The CK assay monitors the hemostasis process via the intrinsic pathway in 3.2% citrated whole blood specimens on the TEG 6s System. Clotting characteristics are described by the functional parameters Clotting Time (R), Speed of Clot Formation (K and Alpha angle) and Maximum Clot Strength (MA). The CKH assay monitors the effects of heparin in 3.2% citrated whole blood specimens on the TEG 6s System. CKH is used in conjunction with CK, and heparin influence is determined by comparing Clotting Times (R) between the two tests. The CRT assay monitors the hemostasis process via both the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways in 3.2% citrated whole blood specimens on the TEG 6s System. Clotting characteristics are described by the functional parameter Maximum Clot Strength (MA). The CRT MA parameter is equivalent to the CK MA parameter but the final MA value is reached more quickly using the CRT assay. The CFF assay monitors hemostasis of 3.2% citrated whole blood specimens in the TEG 6s System after blocking platelet contributions to clot strength. Clotting characteristics are described by the functional parameters Maximum Clot Strength (MA) and the Estimated Functional Fibrinogen Level (FLEV). 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. The indication for TEG 6s System use is with adult patients where an evaluation of their blood hemostasis properties is desired. Hemostasis evaluations are commonly used to assess clinical conditions in cardiovascular surgery and cardiology procedures to assess hemorrhage or thrombosis conditions before, during and following the procedure. The TEG 6s Hemostasis System can be used in the laboratory or at the point-of-care.
