Chapter 1, Introduction
Overview Purpose of the manual
The TEG® 6s User Manual provides users with the information needed to effectively operate the TEG® 6s Hemostasis 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.
Use this manual in combination with training supplied by qualified Haemonetics personnel.
What is the TEG 6s System?
The TEG® 6s Hemostasis System consists of the following components:
TEG 6s Hemostasis Analyzer
Disposable assay cartridges with preloaded dried reagents
Service-Maintenance-Settings (SMS) software interface
TEG Manager ® software interface
The TEG 6s 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 a gel-like state during clotting, the modulus of elasticity and 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 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-MaintenanceSettings (SMS) software provides the interface for an administrator or qualified service technician to change configuration settings, update, backup, and restore firmware and data files, and manage analyzer calibration parameters. For more information about the SMS software, consult the TEG 6s Site Administrator Guide. TEG Manager is an accessory application that provides remote viewing of TEG analyzer test results and administration of all connected analyzers. TEG Manager interfaces with analyzers to obtain clinical data and retrieves patient information from an external Hospital Information System (HIS). For more information about TEG Manager, consult the TEG Manager® User and Site Administrator Guide. P/N 115191-US, Manual revision: AE
Haemonetics® TEG® 6s User Manual
Chapter 1, Introduction
Intended use
11 The TEG® 6s Hemostasis System consists of the TEG 6s Hemostasis Analyzer, TEG 6s PlateletMapping Assay Cartridge, TEG 6s Citrated Multichannel Cartridge, and TEG 6s Citrated: K, RT, FF Assay Cartridge. The TEG 6s Hemostasis System is intended for in vitro diagnostic use to provide qualitative assessment of platelet function and semi-quantitative indications of the hemostasis state of a venous blood sample. The TEG 6s Hemostasis System records the kinetic changes in a sample of heparinized or 3.2% citrated whole blood as the sample clots. The PlateletMapping Assay Cartridge provides four channels of dried-in-place reagents, HKH (Kaolin with Heparinase), Activator F, AA, and ADP (one reagent in each channel). In combination, MA parameter results from these four reagents are used to calculate the parameters platelet % Inhibition and % Aggregation for AA and ADP. A PlateletMapping ADP Assay Cartridge is available without the AA reagent. The Citrated Multichannel Cartridge contains four independent assays (CK, CRT, CKH and CFF) and the system output consists of a table of numerical values for parameters R, K, Angle, MA, and FLEV. The Citrated: K, RT, FF Assay Cartridge contains three independent assays (CK, CRT and CFF) and the system output consists of a table of numerical values for parameters R, LY30, and MA. The CK assay monitors the hemostasis process via the intrinsic pathway in 3.2% citrated whole blood specimens on the TEG 6s Hemostasis System. Clotting characteristics are described by the functional parameters R (clotting time) and LY30 (fibrinolysis after 30 minutes of reaching maximum clot strength). The CRT assay monitors the hemostasis process via both the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways in 3.2% citrated whole blood specimens on the TEG 6s Hemostasis System. Clotting characteristics are described by the functional parameter MA (maximum clot strength). The CKH assay monitors the effects of heparin in 3.2% citrated whole blood specimens on the TEG 6s System. CKH is used in conjunction with CK, and heparin influence is determined by comparing clotting times (R) between the two tests. The CFF assay monitors hemostasis of 3.2% citrated whole blood specimens in the TEG 6s Hemostasis System after blocking platelet contributions to clot strength. Clotting characteristics are described by the functional parameter MA (maximum clot strength). Results from the TEG 6s analysis 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, further hemostasis tests. The indication for TEG 6s Hemostasis System use is with adult patients (18 years and older) where an evaluation of their blood hemostasis properties is desired. Hemostasis evaluation with the TEG 6s Hemostasis System using the PlateletMapping Assay Cartridge and Citrated Multichannel Cartridge is used

Chapter 1, Introduction to assess clinical conditions in cardiovascular surgery and cardiology procedures to assess hemorrhage or thrombosis conditions. Hemostasis evaluation with the TEG 6s Hemostasis System using the Citrated: K, RT, FF Assay Cartridge is used to assess clinical conditions in a trauma setting to assess hemorrhage or thrombosis conditions. For professional use only.
Essential performance
The TEG 6s Hemostasis System has the following characteristics identified as essential performance: 1. The device shall accurately measure changes in a blood sample during clotting and lysis. 2. The device shall indicate test results that are out of range. 3. The device shall display an error message and prevent completion of a test if any electromechanical or pneumatic function of the analyzercartridge combination is not operating satisfactorily.
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.
Caution: Federal Law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a licensed practitioner.
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 materials 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.

Haemonetics® TEG® 6s User Manual
Chapter 1, Introduction
Cybersecurity
13 Haemonetics recommends the following cybersecurity controls for the TEG 6s Hemostasis System:
The SMS software and TEG 6s analyzer should be installed behind a firewall and physically secured per your organization’s security guidelines.
User accounts should not be shared, and passwords should be kept confidential.
No Personally Identifiable Information (PII) or Protected Health information (PHI) should be entered in the analyzer’s Test Information field, as this field is not encrypted when stored locally.
TLS (Transport Layer Security) V1.2 should be enabled on the TEG Manager server.
SMS should be connected to the analyzer only on a secure Local Area Network (LAN).

Disposable assay cartridges
Note: Any references made to “front” or “back” are from the perspective of an operator facing the TEG analyzer. The TEG 6s system consists of an analyzer and disposable assay cartridges. The analyzer contains a user-friendly interface in the form of a color touchenabled display. Through this interface, the operator can control all operations of the analyzer except turning it on and off, which is accomplished by accessing a switch at the rear of the analyzer. The system is designed to accept a disposable plastic cartridge, into which a blood sample can be placed. Once a test is started, the analyzer processes the sample and reports the results on the touchscreen display.
