LOINC Code 111478-4: FLUAV whole genome ID Sequencing Nom (Specimen) [ID]

What is this code?

LOINC codes identify tests, measurements, observations, survey items, and clinical questions in a standardized way. It is associated with the component Influenza virus A whole genome segment sequence. It is commonly used with the system or sample type XXX.

When is it used?

• Used in lab systems, EHRs, and clinical data exchange.
• May identify a test, observation, survey item, or clinical document request rather than a diagnosis.
• Status: ACTIVE
• Order vs observation: Observation
• Method: Sequencing

What it does not mean

• The code identifies the observation or test, not the actual result.

Key facts

• Influenza virus A whole genome segment sequence [Identifier] in Specimen by Sequencing
• Influenza virus A whole genome segment sequence
• USDA NAHLN labs regulatory test. Influenza A whole-genome sequencing assay is a molecular diagnostic technique that uses next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies to identify the full nucleotide sequence of all eight RNA segments of the Influenza A virus. This assay enables comprehensive genetic characterization, surveillance of viral evolution, detection of mutations, and lineage classification. The labs part of the NAHLN network report this assay as a GenBank number. These accession numbers are used for referencing, data sharing, and comparative analysis in global influenza surveillance and research.
