LOINC Code 95823-1: SARS-related coronavirus E gene NAA+probe Ql (Sal)

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 SARS-related coronavirus E gene. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Saliva.

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: Observation
• Method: Probe.amp.tar

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

• SARS-related coronavirus E gene [Presence] in Saliva (oral fluid) by NAA with probe detection
• SARS-related coronavirus E gene
• Qualitative detection of nucleic acids within the envelope (E) gene of SARS coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in saliva specimens by nucleic acid amplification with probe-based detection. Testing is performed for the diagnosis of COVID-19.
