47362-9
LaboratoryChlamydia trachomatis+Neisseria gonorrhoeae rRNA [Presence] in Specimen from Donor by NAA with probe detection
Definition
This test is intended to be used as a primary screening test for the diagnosis of infection with Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) or Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG). This test is required for screening all potential semen or egg donors for in vitro fertilization or other reproductive procedures. This test has been approved by the FDA for the screening of patients in populations with a low prevalence of disease. A Positive test result is indicative of an acute or chronic infection with CT or NG, and may be used to disqualify a potential cell or tissue donor.
