Megasphaera sp type 1 DNA [Presence] in Vaginal fluid by NAA with probe detection   69567-6

LOINC Code


LOINC code69567-6
nameMegasphaera sp type 1 DNA [Presence] in Vaginal fluid by NAA with probe detection
descriptionThe result (score) of this test is based on the quantity of Megasphaera species Type 1 (Mega1) in vaginal fluid by nucleic acid amplification compared to known calibrator values. The score is used to determine the presence of bacterial vaginosis (see LOINC 69564-3).
statusACTIVE

Fully-Specified Name

componentMegasphaera sp type 1 DNA
propertyPrThr  =  Present or threshold:  The Property PrThr stands for “Presence or Threshold”, meaning either a) the actual presence or absence of an analyte, or b) that the amount of analyte detected is over some predetermined threshold.
timePt  =  Point in time:  To identify measures at a point in time. This is a synonym for “spot” or “random” as applied to urine measurements.
systemVag  =  Vagina
scaleOrd  =  Ordinal:  Ordered categorical responses, e.g., 1+, 2+, 3+; positive, negative; reactive, indeterminate, nonreactive.
methodProbe.amp.tar

last change typeMIN  - change to field other than name
change reasonThe PrThr property is used for LOINC terms whose results are reported using an ordered categorical scale, regardless of whether or not an internal threshold was used to make that determination. This change was approved by the Laboratory LOINC Committee in June 2016.
