LOINC Code


LOINC code73702-3
nameNeisseria meningitidis serosubtype [Type] in Isolate by Immunoassay
descriptionSerum serosubtyping of Neisseria meningitidis can be performed by immunoassays using monoclonal antibodies. Tests may be performed for communicable disease surveillance, prevention and control. The answer list provided with this code are serosubtype examples and not a complete list.

Fully-Specified Name

componentNeisseria meningitidis serosubtype
propertyType  =  Type:  The Property Type is used for assays that identify the specific analyte in cases when the baseline presence of the analyte is known.
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.
systemIsolate
scaleNom  =  Nominal:  Nominal or categorical responses that do not have a natural ordering. (e.g., names of bacteria, reported as answers, categories of appearance that do not have a natural ordering, such as, yellow, clear, bloody.
methodIA  =  Immunoassay:  Encompasses all immunoassays with a few exceptions, including Immune Blot and Immune Fluorescence, which were created based on historic usage.

History/Usage

first released
last updated2.56
last change typeMIN  - change to field other than name
change reasonThe EIA method, which was always intended to cover more than just enzyme-linked immunoassay and whose display name for the long common name has always been Immunoassay, was renamed IA in order to eliminate ambiguity about whether the method has a broader meaning than just enzyme-linked immunoassay. Likewise, EIA.rapid was renamed IA.rapid. These changes were approved by the Laboratory LOINC Committee in June 2016.
