LOINC Code
| LOINC code | 78012-2 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| name | Streptococcus pyogenes Ag [Presence] in Throat by Rapid immunoassay | ||||
| description | This term was created for, but not limited in use to, the submitter's Alere TestPack Plus Strep A test kit, which uses a rapid immunoassay for the detection of Group A Streptococcal antigen. The kit needs to come to room temperature if refrigerated (30 minutes specified), then 2- 5 minutes to perform. | ||||
| status | ACTIVE | ||||
Fully-Specified Name | |||||
| component | Streptococcus pyogenes Ag | ||||
| 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 | Thrt = Throat | ||||
| scale | Ord = Ordinal: Ordered categorical responses, e.g., 1+, 2+, 3+; positive, negative; reactive, indeterminate, nonreactive. | ||||
| method | IA.rapid | ||||
Additional Names | |||||
| short name | S pyo Ag Throat Ql IA.rapid | ||||

| 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.; 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. | ||||
