LOINC Code 70061-7: HPV 16 and 18 DNA NAA+probe Ql (Specimen)

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 Human papilloma virus 16 & 18 DNA. 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: Both
• Method: Probe.amp.tar

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

• Human papilloma virus 16 and 18 DNA [Presence] in Specimen by NAA with probe detection
• Human papilloma virus 16 & 18 DNA
• We created this term based on (but not limited to) AmpliSens HPV 16/18-EPh PCR kit, which is an in vitro nucleic acid amplification test for qualitative detection and differentiation of Human Papillomavirus types 16 and 18 in the clinical material (cervical or urethral scrapes) by detection of the amplified products iby agarose gel electrophoresis. The sample is considered positive for HPV 16 and/or 18 DNA if the bands of 325 bp and 425 bp, respectively, are present in agarose gel.
