Deprecated Methicillin resistance (mecA) gene [Presence] by Nucleic acid capture and probe detection in Positive blood culture 74745-1
LOINC Code
| LOINC code | 74745-1 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Deprecated Methicillin resistance (mecA) gene [Presence] by Nucleic acid capture and probe detection in Positive blood culture | ||
| status | DEPRECATED | ||
| status reason | Duplicate - Recommend using the term with System Isolate/Specimen and Method Molgen that aligns with the new LOINC model for molecular resistance testing that was approved by Laboratory LOINC Committee in June 2018 | ||
| Replacements | alternatives to this code:
| ||
Fully-Specified Name | |||
| component | Bacterial methicillin resistance (mecA) gene | ||
| property | PrThr = 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. | ||
| 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 | Bld.pos growth | ||
| scale | Ord = Ordinal: Ordered categorical responses, e.g., 1+, 2+, 3+; positive, negative; reactive, indeterminate, nonreactive. | ||
| method | Probe.mag capture | ||
Additional Names | |||
| short name | Deprecated mecA Bld Pos Ql Prb Mag | ||
Basic Attributes | |||
| class | ABXBACT | ||
| 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 | 2.65 | ||
| last change type | DEL - delete (deprecate) | ||
| change reason | The 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. | ||
