LOINC Code 76585-9: Wound microorganism gene identification panel NAA+probe

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 Wound microorganism gene identification panel. 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
• Order vs observation: Order
• Panel type: Panel
• Method: Probe.amp.tar

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

• Wound microorganism gene identification panel by NAA with probe detection
• Wound microorganism gene identification panel
• This panel includes up to three terms with different properties for each individual component in order to accommodate variations in reporting based on specimen type. Results for swab specimens are reported as Threshold/Ord, fluid specimens are reported as NCnc/Qn, and tissue specimens are reported as NCnt/Qn. The set of codes appropriate for the specimen that was analyzed should be used. This term was created for, but is not limited in use to, Pathogenius Laboratories' Level 1 Wound panel, which includes microorganism-specific gene identification tests for common wound pathogens, total bacterial load, and mecA and vanA gene identification.
