LOINC Code 92789-7: Gram positive blood culture panel NAA+probe (Pos bld culture)

92789-7 is a LOINC code used to identify Gram positive blood culture panel NAA+probe (Pos bld culture) in laboratory and clinical observation data. You may see this code in lab systems, lab reports, EHR exports, interoperability feeds, or other structured clinical data exchanges. LOINC codes identify tests, measurements, observations, survey items, and clinical questions in a standardized way. It is associated with the component Gram positive blood culture panel. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Bld.pos growth.

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 Gram positive blood culture panel. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Bld.pos growth.

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: Probe.amp.tar

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

Gram positive blood culture panel by NAA with probe detection in Positive blood culture
Gram positive blood culture panel
This panel contains terms used for qualitative detection of nucleic acids from various Gram-positive pathogens, directly from positive blood culture samples. It also includes detection of the presence of pan Gram negative organisms and Candida that may be missed in cases of co-infection, as well as genetic determinants of resistance. This panel was created for, but not limited in use to, the GenMark ePlex Blood Culture Identification Gram-Positive Panel (BCID-GP), which detects the following organismsBacillus cereus group, Bacillus subtilis group, Corynebacterium, Cutibacterium acnes (Propionibacterium acnes), Enterococcus, Enterococcus faecalis, Enterococcus faecium, Lactobacillus, Listeria, Listeria monocytogenes, Micrococcus, Staphylococcus, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus lugdunensis, Streptococcus, Streptococcus agalactiae(GBS), Streptococcus anginosus group, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Streptococcus pyogenes (GAS). In addition, the panel can include terms detecting the presence of gram-negative and Candida species (without distinguishing between them), and the presence of resistance genes, including mecA, mecC, vanA and vanB.
