LOINC Code 5960-0: PT factor substitution 20 Min post incubation.37 deg c post addition of normal plasma Tilt tube (PPP control) [Time]
5960-0 is a LOINC code used to identify PT factor substitution 20 Min post incubation.37 deg c post addition of normal plasma Tilt tube (PPP control) [Time] in laboratory and clinical observation data. You may see this code in lab systems, lab reports, EHR exports, interoperability feeds, or other structured clinical data exchanges. LOINC codes identify tests, measurements, observations, survey items, and clinical questions in a standardized way. It is associated with the component Coagulation tissue factor induced.factor substitution^20M post incubation.37 deg c after addition of normal plasma. It is commonly used with the system or sample type PPP^Control.
