What does this LOINC code represent?

This LOINC code identifies a lab observation, measurement, question, or clinical concept in a standardized format.

Is this enough to understand my test result?

No. The code identifies the test or observation, but the interpretation depends on the actual result, reference range, and clinical context.

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 GISAID sequence accession number. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Isolate.

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

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

GISAID sequence accession number

GISAID Accession Numbers are unique and permanent identifiers for viral sequences. The GISAID numbers begin with letters EPI followed by a series of unique numbers. GISAID currently contains open-access genomic data for influenza viruses and SARS coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Whole-genome sequences of SARS-CoV-2 were made available on GISAID beginning in January 2020 to enable global genomic epidemiology and real-time surveillance of new COVID-19 viral strains.
