LOINC Code 97608-4: Joint pathogens panel NAA+non-probe (Syn fld)

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 Joint pathogens panel. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Synv fld.

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: Non-probe.amp.tar

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

• Joint pathogens panel - Synovial fluid by NAA with non-probe detection
• Joint pathogens panel
• This panel contains terms used for qualitative detection of nucleic acids from various joint pathogens directly from synovial fluid samples. It also contains terms for reporting the detection of bacterial antimicrobial resistance genes.
