LOINC Code 80384-1: HCG IA.rapid Ql (U)
80384-1 is a LOINC code used to identify HCG IA.rapid Ql (U) in laboratory and clinical observation data. You may see this code in lab systems, lab reports, EHR exports, interoperability feeds, or other structured clinical data exchanges. LOINC codes identify tests, measurements, observations, survey items, and clinical questions in a standardized way. It is associated with the component Choriogonadotropin. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Urine.

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: IA.rapid
What it does not mean

Key facts
- Choriogonadotropin [Presence] in Urine by Rapid immunoassay
- Choriogonadotropin
- This term was created for, but is not limited in use to, the bioMerieux bioNexia hCG Urine kit, which is intended for the qualitative detection of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine to aid in the early detection of pregnancy. The bioNexia hCG assay has a sensitivity of 25 mIU/mL, at which level there is no cross-reactivity interference from the structurally related glycoprotein hormones FSH, LH and TSH, and which allows detection of pregnancy as early as one day after the first missed menses. The bioNexia hCG Urine assay results should be read 3 minutes after the sample is applied to the sample well. This lab test is used as pregnancy test (for early pregnancy detection)
