| name | ||
| description | The detection of both C. difficile antigen (glutamate dehydrogenase, GDH) and toxins A and B in a stool specimen. This term was created for, but not limited in use to, Alere's C. diff Quik Chek Complete(R), a rapid immunoassay that screens for the presence of C. difficile GDH antigens and confirms the presence of toxigenic C. difficile by detection of toxins A and B. The Alere Quick Chek Complete assay takes 25 minutes to complete, including 15 minutes for specimen incubation and 10 minutes for reaction with substrate. | |
| status | ACTIVE | |
Fully-Specified Name | ||
| component | Clostridioides difficile glutamate dehydrogenase & toxins A+B B = Buccal | |
| 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 | Stool = Stool = Fecal | |
| scale | Ord = Ordinal: Ordered categorical responses, e.g., 1+, 2+, 3+; positive, negative; reactive, indeterminate, nonreactive. | |
| method | IA.rapid | |
