TEG 6s platelet mapping abnormal QC

With the recent recall of the functional fibrinogen reagent, which we used to create an abnormal QC on the TEG 6s, we don't have an abnormal QC.
What is everyone else using for the abn QC?
Thanks!

We draw two tubes from a normal donor, one for a normal platelet mapping QC, and add Eptifibatide to the other to make it abnormal.  

How much Eptifibatide do you add to make the donor sample abnormal ?  Is there a set dilution?   

We found that 3 drops per 1 mL gives us the response we need.
