76585-9
LaboratoryWound microorganism gene identification panel by NAA with probe detection
Definition
This panel includes up to three terms with different properties for each individual component in order to accommodate variations in reporting based on specimen type. Results for swab specimens are reported as Threshold/Ord, fluid specimens are reported as NCnc/Qn, and tissue specimens are reported as NCnt/Qn. The set of codes appropriate for the specimen that was analyzed should be used. This term was created for, but is not limited in use to, Pathogenius Laboratories' Level 1 Wound panel, which includes microorganism-specific gene identification tests for common wound pathogens, total bacterial load, and mecA and vanA gene identification.
