Functional Fibrinogen Maximum Amplitude (MA)
General Information
Lab Name
Functional Fibrinogen Maximum Amplitude (MA)
Lab Code
FFMA
Description
In the Functional Fibrinogen the TEG 6S instrument assesses blood viscoelastic properties using resonance technology, exposing the blood to a fixed vibration frequency range upon adding calcium and exposure to kaolin and tissue factor with a platelet inhibitor. Clotting is activated with the exclusion of platelets in the clot strength (MA) which is measured to determine the fibrinogen contribution.
