TEG 6s Global with Lysis (K, RT, FF)
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. If you transport by hand to the Laboratory, ensure you deliver directly to Coagulation.
NOTE: Other locations MUST walk the specimens to lab - DO NOT TUBE DOWN.

Preferred Specimen
NaCit light blue top tube
Whole blood collected in a 3.2% Sodium Citrate tube - FULL TUBE required.
Whole blood collected in a 3.2% Sodium Citrate tube - FULL TUBE required.
Reject Criteria (Eg, hemolysis? Lipemia? Thaw/Other?)

Underfilled of overfilled
Clotted specimens
Samples contaminated with tissue contaminants
Refrigerated, chilled on ice or frozen
Centrifuged specimens
An appropriate blood sample not allowed to equilibrate from time of draw (10 minutes for citrated tubes and 30 minutes for heparin tubes) or is too old and past stability time frame for test ordered.
Samples sent via the tube station unless approved by the Pathologist or validation has been performed.
