LOINC Code 62639-0: PhenX - respiratory - spirometry protocol 091601

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 PhenX - respiratory - spirometry protocol 091601. It is commonly used with the system or sample type ^Patient.

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
• Panel type: Panel
• Method: PhenX

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

• PhenX - respiratory - spirometry protocol 091601
• A spirometric test requires that the subject take a full, deep breath and then exhale as forcefully as possible into a hand-held portable spirometer. The subject's effort is called the forced expiratory maneuver and most commonly measures the amount and speed of air that is exhaled. The total amount (volume) of air exhaled is called the forced vital capacity (FVC). The amount (volume) of air exhaled in 1 second is called the forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1). While hand-held spirometers are commonly used in clinical research studies, the same results can be obtained from more sophisticated floor-mounted devices that are typically available in a respiratory function testing laboratory. Numerous instructions are embedded in the protocol and in Table 1 of the protocol.
