LOINC Code 75406-9: HPV 16 and 18+45 E6+E7 mRNA Probe amp Ql (Cvx)

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+45 E6+E7 mRNA. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Cvx.

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: DEPRECATED
• Order vs observation: Both
• Method: Probe.amp

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

• Deprecated Human papilloma virus 16 and 18+45 E6+E7 mRNA [Presence] in Cervix by Probe with amplification
• Human papilloma virus 16 & 18+45 E6+E7 mRNA
• Detects E6/E7 viral messenger RNA (mRNA) of human papillomavirus (HPV) types 16, 18, and 45 in cervical specimens from women with positive HPV assay results. For women 21-years and older with atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US) cervical cytology results, and HPV positive assay results, this assay can be used to assess the presence or absence of high-risk HPV genotypes 16, 18, and/or 45. For women 30-years and older, the HPV 16, 18, and/or 45 genotype assay can be used to test samples from women with HPV assay positive results, along with cervical cytology results. This assay has not been evaluated for HPV vaccinated patients or in cases of suspected abuse. It differentiates HPV 16 from HPV 18 and/or HPV 45, but does not differentiate HPV 18 and HPV 45. This term was created for, but not limited in use to, the Aptima HPV 16 18/45 genotype assay which uses target capture, target amplification by transcription-mediated amplification and detection of the amplification products by hybridization protection.
