What is a TEG machine?
Thromboelastography (TEG) evaluates clot initiation, formation, and stability, using whole blood or plasma. TEG has been used primarily to monitor blood component therapy during surgery.
How much is a TEG?
An eligible student may receive up to $3,497 per year. An eligible undergraduate student with exceptional financial need (defined as a student with an Expected Family Contribution, or EFC, less than or equal to $1,000 for the year) may receive up to $5,246 per year.
Who makes the TEG?
Haemonetics
Haemonetics, a healthcare company dedicated to providing innovative blood management solutions, partnered with Invetech to design and manufacture the TEG® 6s Hemostasis Analyzer System.
What is TEG Haemonetics?
Our TEG® 5000 Thrombelastograph® Hemostasis Analyzer system is a diagnostic instrument that provides comprehensive whole blood hemostasis testing that can help assess bleeding and thrombotic risks, and also monitor antithrombotic therapies.
How do you read a TEG test?
If we interpret our TEG values:
- R time 20.0 => well above the upper limit of normal (10.0 minutes) = significantly prolonged time for clot formation.
- K time 13.2 => normal: up to 10.0 = prolonged fibrin cross-linking.
- a-angle 16.5 => normal >53.0 = limited clot formation.
What does TEG measure?
TEG measures blood coagulation in vitro, with or without an additional activator. An important component of the coagulation cascade, tissue factor, cannot be quantified in vitro. Moreover, blood coagulation potential is only one component in such complex processes as clinical thrombosis and bleeding.

What do TEG results mean?
OVERVIEW. Thromboelastography (TEG) is a viscoelastic hemostatic assay that measures the global viscoelastic properties of whole blood clot formation under low shear stress. TEG shows the interaction of platelets with the coagulation cascade (aggregation, clot strengthening, fibrin cross-linking and fibrinolysis)
Why choose Haemoscope’s teg analyzer?
Haemoscope’s TEG® analyzer is the only hemostasis analyzer available on the market that follows the reliable and proven model developed by Prof. Helmut Hartert in Germany in the 1940’s.
What is the Teg® 5000 hemostasis analyzer system?
The TEG® 5000 Hemostasis Analyzer System provides a more complete picture of patients’ hemostasis, thus helping you deliver more targeted treatment. The TEG System facilitates your understanding of hemorrhagic or thrombotic risk by revealing: Rate of clot formation Strength and stability of clot
What is the TEG® system?
The TEG® system is comprised of the TEG® analyzer and the TEG® analytical software, which together provide a complete picture of the formation and dissolution of the clot, showing the balance or imbalance of the two systems. (Price is for 1 Complete TEG® 5000 Systems with Analytical Software, Presentation Disk and User Manual).
What is the difference between Teg® and other coagulation tests?
While other coagulation testing only provides a static, isolated measurement at a single point in time-often in plasma, not whole blood-and other hemostasis systems provide results that only claim “correlation” with TEG® analysis, only the TEG® system can provide the true benefits of the original design improved upon and brought into the 21s…
