COVID19 LOINCs

hi all, not sure if this is the right forum, but does anyone have the LOINC for the Luminex ARIES molecular test that detects the N and ORF genes via NAT? Is this a panel that reports the gene results separately or ?? One of our hospitals is in the process of purchasing this and asked.

Thanks!

Herre you go - I am hoping we can make this LIVD file public soon.
Keep in mind this is coded for PHLIP (so use detected / not detected for presence/absence)

Order code, if ordering as panel and reporting all below:
94531-1 SARS coronavirus 2 RNA panel - Respiratory specimen by NAA with probe detection

Order and result code, if just reporitng the overrall conclusion:
94500-6 SARS coronavirus 2 RNA [Presence] in Respiratory specimen by NAA with probe detection:
result set for conclusion:
"SARS-CoV-2 RNA positive (260373001^Detected^SCT)
SARS-CoV-2 RNA negative (260415000^Not detected^SCT)
Invalid (455371000124106^Invalid result^SCT or 125154007^Specimen unsatisfactory for evaluation^SCT)"

Target OBX-3 codes:
94559-2 SARS coronavirus 2 ORF1ab region [Presence] in Respiratory specimen by NAA with probe detection
94533-7 SARS coronavirus 2 N gene [Presence] in Respiratory specimen by NAA with probe detection
68993-5 Human RNase P RNA [Presence] in Unspecified specimen by NAA with probe detection

All use the same allowed result set:
"+ (260373001^Detected^SCT)
- (260415000^Not Detected^SCT)"

Proposed name to send in OBX-17 or as NTE following the OBX, the track the kit: Luminex ARIES SARS-CoV-2
