71430-3

LOINC code 71430-3 identifies "oxyCODONE+oxyMORphone [Presence] in Saliva (oral fluid) by Screen method". Oxycodone, a semi synthetic narcotic analgesic, is structurally similar to codeine. Oxymorphone is a metabolite of Oxycodone. Screening of oxycodone may be done on forensic samples such as oral fluid (saliva), serum, plasma, blood, and urine. This code was created for, but not limited to, the Immunalysis TM Oxycodone Direct ELISA kit, which is selective for oxycodone and has a cross reactivity of 50% with the metabolite oxymorphone. Results (postive, negative) are determined by the sample absorbance compared to the laboratory's positive reference standard.

This code measures oxyCODONE+Oxymorphone in Saliva. It belongs to the DRUG/TOX class in the LOINC classification.

LOINC (Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes) is a universal standard for identifying laboratory and clinical observations. It is maintained by the Regenstrief Institute and used worldwide for health data exchange.
