HIV 1 and 2 Ab [Identifier] in Serum or Plasma by Rapid immunoassay 69668-2
LOINC Code
| LOINC code | 69668-2 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| name | HIV 1 and 2 Ab [Identifier] in Serum or Plasma by Rapid immunoassay | ||
| description | Test is a rapid enzyme immunoassay used as a diagnostic aid for the detection and differentiation of HIV-1 and HIV-2 antibodies in serum or plasma. This code is based on, but not limited to, BIO-RAD's Multispot HIV-1/HIV-2 Rapid Test, which was approved in June of 2012 by the FDA for distinguishing HIV-1 from HIV-2 and is being considered as a replacement for Immune blot for the confirmation of positive HIV EIA tests by routine methods. It takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. | ||
| status | ACTIVE | ||
Fully-Specified Name | |||
| component | HIV 1 & 2 Ab | ||
| 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 | Ser/Plas Ser = Serum Plas = Plasma | ||
| 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. | ||

| change reason | 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. | ||
