Plasmodium falciparum Ag [Presence] in Blood by Rapid immunoassay   76772-3

LOINC Code


LOINC code76772-3
namePlasmodium falciparum Ag [Presence] in Blood by Rapid immunoassay
descriptionDetects Plasmodium falciparum specific histidine rich protein-2 (Pf. HRP-2) in whole blood samples. Pf. HRP-2 is a water soluble protein that is release from parasitized erythrocytes of infected individuals and is specific to P. falciparum species. This term was created for, but not limited in use to, the Nova Century Scientific Rapid test for P. Falciparum Malaria kit, which can deliver results within 30 minutes once the kit has been brought to room temperature.
statusACTIVE

Fully-Specified Name

componentPlasmodium falciparum Ag
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.
systemBld  =  Whole blood
scaleOrd  =  Ordinal:  Ordered categorical responses, e.g., 1+, 2+, 3+; positive, negative; reactive, indeterminate, nonreactive.
methodIA.rapid

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.; The 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.
