LOINC Code
| LOINC code | 94512-1 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Staphylococcus aureus and Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus identified in Isolate or Specimen by Molecular genetics method | ||
| description | Detection of Staphylococcus aureus (SA) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) DNA in isolates or clinical specimens by molecular methods. This term was created for, but not limited in use to, the Cephid Xpert MRSA/SA Skin and Soft Tissue Infection Assay (Xpert MRSA/SA SSTI Assay), which is indicated for use in conjunction with other laboratory tests to aid in the detection of MRSA/SA. | ||
| status | ACTIVE | ||
Fully-Specified Name | |||
| component | Staphylococcus aureus & Staphylococcus aureus.methicillin resistant | ||
| property | Prid = 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. | ||
| time | Pt = Point in time: To identify measures at a point in time. This is a synonym for “spot” or “random” as applied to urine measurements. | ||
| system | Isolate/Specimen | ||
| scale | Nom = 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. | ||
| method | Molgen = Molecular Genetics: General class of methods used to detect genetic attributes on a molecular basis including RFL, PCR and other methods. | ||
Additional Names | |||
| short name | SA + MRSA Islt/Spm | ||
Basic Attributes | |||
| class | MICRO | ||
| type | 1 Laboratory | ||
| order vs. observation | Both | ||
Associated Observations | |||
LOINC codes that represent optional associated observation(s) for a clinical observation or laboratory test. A LOINC term may represent a single associated observation or panel containing several associated observations. | |||
History/Usage | |||
| first released | |||
| last updated | 2.79 | ||
| last change type | NAM - change to Analyte/Component | ||
| change reason | Release 2.79: COMPONENT: Triggered by the coll w SCT:The understanding is that the word "identified" refers to the property "PRID", its presence in the component is redundant to the property. Therefore it is better to remove "identified" from the component.; Release 2.70: METHOD_TYP: Updated Method from "Probe.amp.tar" because other molecular methods can be used to report the same overall result.; | ||
