Standard TEG with Platelet Mapping
MessagePerformed in Coagulation
BUMCP ONLY: Samples may be transported through the pneumatic tube system however you must call 839-3471 PRIOR to collection. Send the sample at room temperature immediately after collection. Place a green TEG slip in the sample bag to ensure priority handling.
NOTE: Other locations MUST walk the specimens to lab - DO NOT TUBE DOWN.
NOCO: Due to short specimen stability, testing must be collected at NCMC.

Instructions
For samples drawn by venipuncture, use a 21-gauge needle. The first 3 mL of blood should not be used for TEG testing due to the possible contaminants in the sample during normal phlebotomy. Draw a discard tube if the only sample being drawn will be for TEG testing.
For line draws the first 7 mL of blood should be discarded.
Note: Transport at room temperature immediately after collection. DO NOT CENTRIFUGE.

Transport Temperature
Ambient
Specimen Stability
Must be tested within 2 hours of collection.
Reject Criteria (Eg, hemolysis? Lipemia? Thaw/Other?)
Whole blood sample not collected in 3.2% sodium citrated tube
Whold blood sample collected in a heparin gel tube
Underfilled or overfilled tubes
Clotted specimens
Samples contaminated with tissue contaminants
Refrigerated, chilled on ice or frozen
Centrifuged specimens
A blood sample collected in a citrated tube and not allowed to equilibrate for 10 minutes from time of draw or was collected more than 2 hours ago.
Samples sent via the tube system unless approved by the Pathologist or a validation has been performed.
