Clostridioides difficile toxin A+B tcdA+tcdB genes [Presence] in Stool by NAA with non-probe detection   82197-5

LOINC Code


LOINC code82197-5
nameClostridioides difficile toxin A+B tcdA+tcdB genes [Presence] in Stool by NAA with non-probe detection
descriptionQualitative detection of nucleic acid sequences in the Clostridium difficile toxin A (tcdA) and B (tcdB) genes in stool specimens by PCR and non-probe detection methods, such as melt curve analysis. This assay does not differentiate between C. difficile toxin A and B genes. This term was created for, but not limited in use to, the submitter's test kit, FilmArray Gastrointestinal Panel (GI) v2.1.
statusACTIVE

Fully-Specified Name

componentClostridioides difficile toxin A+B tcdA+tcdB genes
    B  =  Buccal
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.
systemStool  =  Stool = Fecal
scaleOrd  =  Ordinal:  Ordered categorical responses, e.g., 1+, 2+, 3+; positive, negative; reactive, indeterminate, nonreactive.
methodNon-probe.amp.tar
