Disposable Assay Cartridges
TEG analyzer disposable assay cartridges contain the components needed to
perform up to four simultaneous tests from the same blood sample.
Cartridges should be kept in their sealed pouches and in the specified storage
conditions (2-8 deg C) until just before use. Cartridges can be used directly
from the refrigerator; they do not need to reach room temperature before use.

Sample port
A sample port at one end of the cartridge accepts an unmetered amount of
blood, delivered by transfer pipette or syringe.
Under instrument control, the cartridge pulls the blood sample into up to four
staging areas, mixes the sample with reagents that have been dried in place,
and then transfers a small amount into the test cells. Excess blood is moved to
a sealed waste area within the disposable.
Barcode
The barcode on the cartridge allows the analyzer to identify the cartridge type,
test type, expiration date, and lot number.
Cartridge Library
In addition to the barcode on the cartridge, the analyzer system also uses a
Cartridge Library file to determine the type of test the cartridge is intended to
perform. The Cartridge Library holds information that the analyzer needs to run
the appropriate scripts and display the correct parameters for each test.
Haemonetics periodically provides updates to the Cartridge Library which can
be downloaded to your system.
