LOINC code77344-0
nameColony count [#/volume] in Implanted device by Culture
descriptionPerformed when there is a clinical assessment of prosthetic infection or clinical suspicion of aseptic prosthetic joint loosening. Explanted prosthesis components for suspected infection are placed into a tank containing sterile Ringer's solution and sonicated (ultrasound to dislodge the biofilm microorganisms into the surrounding fluid). The sonication fluid is cultured on aerobic and anaerobic agar plates and inoculated in broth media. Cultures are examined for 8 days and colonies counted.

propertyNCnc  =  Number Concentration (count/vol)
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.
systemImplanted device
scaleQn  =  Quantitative:  The result of the test is a numeric value that relates to a continuous numeric scale. Reported either as an integer, a ratio, a real number, or a range. The test result value may optionally contain a relational operator from the set {<=, <, >, >=}. Valid values for a quantitative test are of the form "7", "-7", "7.4", "-7.4", "7.8912", "0.125", "<10", "<10.15", ">12000", 1-10, 1:256
