LOINC Code 92958-8: Respiratory pathogens DNA and RNA panel NAA+non-probe (Lower resp)

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 Respiratory system specimen.lower.

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
• 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 - Lower respiratory specimen by NAA with non-probe detection
• Respiratory pathogens DNA & RNA panel
• This panel includes terms with the general system Respiratory.lower as well as more specific codes for BAL and Sputum to accomodate different reporting styles for different analytes. This code was created for, but is not limited in use to, the BioFire Diagnostics FilmArray Pneumonia Panel, a multiplexed nucleic acid-based in vitro diagnostic test intended for use with the FilmArray Instrument for simultaneous semi-quantitative detection and identification of nucleic acids from multiple bacteria and viruses along with select genetic determinants of antimicrobial resistance directly from lower respiratory samples.
