TEG Platelet Mapping
Test Code35333
CPT Codes
85576 x 1; 85576-91 x3
Includes
The PlateletMapping cartridge consists of a set of blood modifiers, ADP and AA platelet agonists together with ActivatorF, which when used on a heparinized blood sample can measure the levels of platelet function.
The cartridge also contains an HKH (Kaolin with Heparinase) channel. Kaolin-activated test methods are used to reduce variability and to reduce the running time of a native whole blood test. This assay specifically determines the MA (Maximum Amplitude, a measure of clot strength) and the reduction in MA due to genetics, surgical procedures, and/or antiplatelet therapy and reports it as a percentage of reduction in clot strength.

Clinical Significance
The TEG 6s Hemostasis Analyzer is intended for in vitro diagnostic use to monitor and analyze the coagulation state of a blood sample. The TEG6s analyzer records the kinetic changes in a sample of anticoagulated whole blood as the sample clots, retracts and/or lyses in real time. The system output consists of a table of numeric values derived from a graphical representation of the hemostasis curve, which depicts clot firmness over time.
The TEG Platelet Mapping test looks at both global hemostasis and platelet function.
