  • Used in lab systems, EHRs, and clinical data exchange.
  • May identify a test, observation, survey item, or clinical document request rather than a diagnosis.

Key facts

Choriogonadotropin [Presence] in Serum by Rapid immunoassay
Choriogonadotropin
This term was created for, but is not limited in use to, the bioMerieux bioNexia hCG Combo kit, which is intended for the qualitative detection of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine [LOINC80384-1] or serum to aid in the early detection of pregnancy. The bioNexia hCG Combo 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 assay result should be read 5 minutes after the serum sample is applied to the sample well. This lab test is used as pregnancy test (for early pregnancy detection)
