LOINC Code 47362-9: C. trachomatis+N. gonorrhoeae rRNA NAA+probe Ql (Specimen donor)

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 Chlamydia trachomatis+Neisseria gonorrhoeae rRNA. It is commonly used with the system or sample type XXX^Donor.

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: Both
• Method: Probe.amp.tar

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

• Chlamydia trachomatis+Neisseria gonorrhoeae rRNA [Presence] in Specimen from Donor by NAA with probe detection
• Chlamydia trachomatis+Neisseria gonorrhoeae rRNA
• This test is intended to be used as a primary screening test for the diagnosis of infection with Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) or Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG). This test is required for screening all potential semen or egg donors for in vitro fertilization or other reproductive procedures. This test has been approved by the FDA for the screening of patients in populations with a low prevalence of disease. A Positive test result is indicative of an acute or chronic infection with CT or NG, and may be used to disqualify a potential cell or tissue donor.
