Preferred Label : SARS coronavirus 2 N gene:PrThr:Pt:XXX:Ord:Probe.amp.tar;
LOINC status : ACTIVE;
LOINC display name : SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) N gene NAA probe Ql (Specimen);
LOINC long common name : SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) N gene [Presence] in Specimen by NAA with probe detection;
LOINC short name : SARS-CoV-2 N gene Spec Ql NAA probe;
LOINC description : Qualitative detection of nucleic acids within the nucleoprotein (N) gene of SARS coronavirus
2 (SARS-CoV-2) in various specimens, including lower & upper respiratory, serum, stool
or urine, by nucleic acid amplification with probe-based detection. Various assays
have been developed that contain primer-probe sets targeting N gene. [https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/technical-guidance/laboratory-guidance]
If using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) SARS-CoV-2 (2019-nCoV)
assay, use the codes specific for the target 1 (N1) [LOINC: 94307-6] and target 2
(N2) [LOINC: 94308-4] primer-probe sets for the N gene developed by CDC.[CDC: coronavirus/COVID-19/lab/]
The N3 target in the CDC assay is specific for SARS-like Coronavirus [LOINC: 94310-0].;
