LOINC Code 82159-5: Respiratory pathogens DNA and RNA panel NAA+non-probe (Nph)

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 Respiratory pathogens DNA & RNA panel. 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: Order
• Panel type: Panel
• Method: Non-probe.amp.tar

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

• Respiratory pathogens DNA and RNA panel - Nasopharynx by NAA with non-probe detection
• Respiratory pathogens DNA & RNA panel
• This respiratory pathogens panel detects and identifies respiratory viral and bacterial nucleic acids in nasopharyngeal swabs from patients suspected of respiratory tract infections by target amplification and non-probe detection methods, such as melt curve analysis. This term was created for, but not limited in use to, the submitter's test kits, FilmArray Respiratory Panel (RP) and Respiratory Panel 2 Plus (RP2plus), which detect and identify various respiratory viruses and bacteria including Adenovirus, Bordetella species, Coronavirus 229E, Coronavirus HKU1, Coronavirus NL63, Coronavirus OC43, Human Metapneumovirus, Influenza A, Influenza A subtype H1, Influenza A subtype H3, Influenza A subtype H1-2009, Influenza B, MERS Coronavirus, Parainfluenza Virus 1, Parainfluenza Virus 2, Parainfluenza Virus 3, Parainfluenza Virus 4, Human Rhinovirus/Enterovirus, Respiratory Syncytial Virus, Bordetella pertussis, Chlamydophila pneumoniae, and Mycoplasma pneumoniae.
