LOINC Code 88721-6: Rhinovirus+Enterovirus RNA NAA+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 Rhinovirus+enterovirus 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

• Rhinovirus+Enterovirus RNA [Presence] in Nasopharynx by NAA with probe detection
• Rhinovirus+enterovirus RNA
• This term is used for assays that detect but do not differentiate between Rhinovirus and Enterovirus. 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.
