92958-8
LaboratoryRespiratory pathogens DNA and RNA panel - Lower respiratory specimen by NAA with non-probe detection
Definition
This panel includes terms with the general system Respiratory.lower as well as more specific codes for BAL and Sputum to accomodate different reporting styles for different analytes. This code was created for, but is not limited in use to, the BioFire Diagnostics FilmArray Pneumonia Panel, a multiplexed nucleic acid-based in vitro diagnostic test intended for use with the FilmArray Instrument for simultaneous semi-quantitative detection and identification of nucleic acids from multiple bacteria and viruses along with select genetic determinants of antimicrobial resistance directly from lower respiratory samples.
