Overview
Purpose of the
manual The TEG®6s User Manual provides users with the information needed to
effectively operate the TEG®Thrombelastograph®hemostasis analyzer using
the 6s series analyzer. This manual includes:
A detailed description of the analyzer.
Instructions for operating the analyzer and troubleshooting any difficulties.
Information on how to properly handle and maintain the analyzer.
Specifications and performance capabilities.
Usethis manualincombinationwith trainingsuppliedby qualified Haemonetics
personnel.
What is the TEG
6s system? The TEG Thrombelastograph Coagulation Analyzer TEG 6s Series system
consists of the following components:
TEG 6s analyzer
Disposable cartridges with preloaded dried reagents
Service-Maintenance-Settings (SMS) software interface
The TEG analyzer monitors the harmonic motion of a pendant drop of blood in
response to external vibration. As the sample transitions from a liquid state to
agel-likestateduringclotting,the modulusofelasticityand resonant frequency
increase. The analyzer measures these variations in resonant frequency
during clotting and lysis and displays the results on a touchscreen display.
Disposable cartridges are used for processing whole blood samples. Blood is
delivered by transfer pipette or syringe to a small port in the cartridge. Once a
sample has been added to the cartridge and testing has begun, the sample is
inaccessible to the user. The cartridges contain all necessary reagents for
performing an assay.
The TEG analyzer has two modes of operation: (1) Stand-alone, and (2)
computer-controlled through the network interface. Service-Maintenance-
Settings (SMS) software provides the interface for an administrator or qualified
service technician to change configuration settings, update, backup, and
restore software and data files, and manage analyzer calibration parameters.
For more information about the SMS software, consult the TEG 6s Site
Administrator Guide.
Intended use The TEG®6s Hemostasis Analyzer is a non-invasive diagnostic instrument
designed to monitor and analyze the coagulation state of a blood sample in

Chapter 1, Introduction 11
Haemonetics® TEG®6s User Manual P/N 115191-IE, Manual revision: AB
order to assist in the assessment of patient clinical hemostasis conditions. The
TEG 6s analyzer is indicated for use with adult patients where an evaluation of
blood coagulation properties is desired.
Results from the TEG 6s analyzer 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, other coagulation tests.
Precautions The operator should be aware of the following precautions:
Read and understand the entire contents of this manual before operating
the TEG analyzer - especially precautionary information and
specifications.
The TEG analyzer is to be operated by qualified personnel only.
If this equipment is used in a manner inconsistent with this manual,
protections provided by the device may be impaired.
Use only Haemonetics parts and accessories with the TEG analyzer.
Third-party accessories may cause improper performance.
DO NOT use malfunctioning equipment. Have the unit repaired by an
authorized Haemonetics service representative.
DO NOT place anything other than human blood, plasma or Quality
Control (QC) material into a cartridge.
Upon removal from the TEG analyzer, used cartridges must be
immediately disposed of according to local standard operating
procedures for the removal of biohazardous material and should not be
mixed with non-biohazardous waste.
