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 229E+HKU1+NL63+OC43 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: Probe.amp.tar

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

• Human coronavirus 229E+HKU1+NL63+OC43 RNA [Presence] in Nasopharynx by NAA with probe detection
• Human coronavirus 229E+HKU1+NL63+OC43 RNA
• This term is used for assays that detect but do not differentiate between human coronavirus strains 229E, HKU1, NL63, and OC43. This code was created for, but not limited in use to, the submitter's test kit, GenMark ePlex Respiratory Pathogen (RP) Panel, a qualitative nucleic acid multiplex in vitro assay that uses electrowetting technology.
