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 Bordetella pertussis+parapertussis+bronchiseptica gidA gene. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Nph.

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
• Method: Probe.amp.tar

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

• Bordetella pertussis+parapertussis+bronchiseptica gidA gene [Presence] in Nasopharynx by NAA with probe detection
• Bordetella pertussis+parapertussis+bronchiseptica gidA gene
• Detection of nucleic acid sequences in the Bordetella pertussis, parapertussis and B. bronchiseptica gidA gene by PCR-based methods. This test does not differentiate between the species. This term was created for, but not limited in use to, the Verigene® Respiratory Pathogens Flex Nucleic Acid Test (RP Flex).
