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: Observation

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

• Human papilloma virus 16 and 18 and 31+33+35+39+45+51+52+56+58+59+66+68 DNA [Interpretation] in Specimen
• Human papilloma virus 16 & 18 & 31+33+35+39+45+51+52+56+58+59+66+68 DNA
• Examples of specimens include throat and genital (not including cervical or endocervical; use terms with system cervix for these specimens). This term was created for, but not limited in use to, the Abbot RealTime High Risk HPV test kit which detects 14 high risk HPV genotypes through a primer mix targeting a conserved region of HPV genomes and single-stranded DNA probes. The assay differentiates between HPV 16, HPV 18 and non-HPV 16/18 genotypes (other HR HPV).
