LOINC Code 82161-1: HCoV HKU1 RNA NAA+non-probe Ql (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 Human coronavirus HKU1 RNA. 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: Both
• Method: Non-probe.amp.tar

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

• Human coronavirus HKU1 RNA [Presence] in Nasopharynx by NAA with non-probe detection
• Human coronavirus HKU1 RNA
• Qualitative detection of nucleic acid sequences in Human coronavirus HKU1 RNA in nasopharyngeal swabs by target amplification and non-probe detection methods, such as melt curve analysis.
