Medicine and laboratory testing are constantly changing.  The Laboratory Formulary Committee regularly sends out emails with new updates and changes.



TEG samples delivered via p-tube:  Following successful validation of TEG testing on samples sent through the p-tube system, samples for TEG Bleeding Risk (LAB12367) and TEG Anti-Platelet Tx (LAB9687) testing at Downtown may be sent to the Blood Bank via the pneumatic tube system (p-tube stations 851 or 951) effective immediately.  We hope to have this testing available on-site at Community campus soon.  As a reminder, the attached guidance gives more details and step-by-step instructions to access the TEG Viewer application for real-time testing result access.
