TEG 6S

We will be moving towards the TEG 6S for our cardiovascular cases in Point of Care. Wondering if anyone has had experience with platelet mapping and how to go about performing validations when it has not been performed on site previously?
Thanks!

HI Zach. Our hospital implemented the Teg in 2017, before I started. We draw a "normal" donor every month for our QC. Sometimes they work sometimes they don't. It is a frustrating process. They implemented their IQCP within the first year of testing. Feel free to contact me if you need any information!
Has anyone validated using the TEG 5000 normal QC for use rather than a normal donor? We were told by the vendor that some sites have chosen to go this route but they do not advocate or promote it.
More TEG questions!!!
I need help from everyone that is using the TEG 6S (thank you Ruth for already helping)!
IF you are using the 6S--
1-Where are your instruments located? Lab or OR
2- If in the lab, how does specimen get to the lab--tube or walk
3-Who runs the QC/shipment validation?
4-How are you getting results to a chart? (I know no one has figured out an interface)
5-How many patients per month?
Any other info you have would be great!
1) The instruments are located in OR
3) Our contracted Perfusion group runs QC/shipment validation
4) Results are scanned into the patient chart by utilizing the scheduling/registration staff that are local.
5) No idea.
Our POC provides oversight by visiting monthly for a review of their maintenance and QC documentation. The contracted group has a medical technologist on staff that keeps them on target with accreditation standards. A huge help!
1) Lab
2) Both
3) Lab
4) Providers view tracings in TEG Manager. Lab prints tracings and sends them to HIM to be
scanned into patient's chart
5) 60 on average
Hi,
TEG Manager question
Does patient demographics need to be entered before clinicians can view the tracings? Or does it automatically connect from the TEG 6S? I am just trying to figure out how complicated this process may or may not be.
Thank You!

For all that have implemented an IQCP for the TEG 6s:
What is the frequency of QC per month per your IQCP?
We do QC once a month per our IQCP.
For those who have implemented the TEG 6, is it now approved for other than CV cases? Is there any connectivity? If at the POC, does the instrument move from room to room on a cart? If so how does that affect any connectivity? We have RALS and Meditech, eventually moving to probably EPIC but still years for that to happen. Our Blood bank currently uses the TEG 5000 but wants to move to just TEG 6 at POC but if not approved for Trauma or ECMO, what options are there?
HI All,
I just was informed that our Trauma level 2 hospital is looking into TEG 6s . We use i-stat for ACTc in cath lab and I was wondering what advantages do we get from TEG 6S .
Does abbott has a cartridge that would provide the same info?
Any information is appreciated.

Good morning all! I am revisiting a question from June posed by Tiffany. We are also looking at validating the Teg 5000 QC since we struggle to find a "normal" donor every month. If anyone has any information I'd love to hear how the process is going!
Thanks!
This is a challenge for us as well.
We have the TEG 6s. We typically have 2-3 people we can use who aren’t taking any meds.
Once in a while one of them will fail. Not sure why. So then we ask another one to donate.
The rep states they are working on providing a QC material but we’ve been hearing that for a couple of years.

We recently validated 3 TEG's .
My question is regarding how CAP considers TEG anaylser as far as running QC for new lot of cartridge? In other words , Does CAP considers each TEG analyser as an individual test system and requires running QC on each TEG upon receiving new lot of cartridge or CAP considers several TEG analyzers as part of a test system and accepts rotating QC among the different TEG analysers for new lot of cartridge?
Also what if one is located at a different location than main lab ( CVOR)?
