LOINC code76346-6
nameMicroorganism identified in Isolate by MS.MALDI-TOF
descriptionMicroorganism identification by MALDI-TOF (matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight) is a diagnostic test for identifying the specific microorganism(s), i.e., bacteria and/or fungi, responsible for an infection. MALDI-TOF is a form of mass spectrometry that analyzes the proteins contained in an isolated colony. The resulting mass spectrum is compared to a reference database of bacterial and fungal protein mass spectra in order to identify the organism(s) present in the test sample. This term was created for, but is not limited in use to, bioMerieux's VITEK MS system, which is indicated for use to aid in the diagnosis of bacterial and fungal infections.

Fully-Specified Name

componentMicroorganism
propertyPrid  =  Presence or identity:  Prid stands for “Presence or identity”, is used for assays that detect whether or not an analyte of a particular kind is present, and if it is, to identify the specific analyte.
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.
