Adaptive Biotech - T-Detect results

Hi All, 

Here in Utah we have started receiving results from Adaptive Biotechnologies. They are sending us results with the LOINC 95970-0, SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) specific TCRB gene rearrangements [Presence] in Blood by Sequencing. 

The T-Detect test from Adaptive Biotechnologies has more info here:

https://www.t-detect.com/

It is a test for immunity, not a diagnostic test, but it is not an antibody test. It sequences the T-cell receptor. Has anyone else received these results? If so, how does your jurisdiction plan to handle and process these results into their surveillance systems? Is anyone using these results?

Any help/information on this is helpful. Thank you!
