CDC has posted a LOINC In-Vitro Diagnostic (LIVD) Test Code Mapping Guide for COVID-19 test results for tests with emergency use authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that can be used by clinical laboratories and instrument manufacturers. This specification supports the use of standardized LOINC and SNOMED Clinical
2. Background. Tuberculosis is a bacterial infection caused by species of MTB-complex. 1 Pulmonary tuberculosis is the most common clinical presentation of tuberculosis in adults, although extra A revolution: The impact of COVID-19 on in vitro diagnostic testing. Throughout the pandemic, Europe saw massive investment in IVD testing to scale up capacity, as well as an urgency to innovate quickly to cope with historic demand. The first diagnostic COVID-19 test was developed by researchers in Germany in mid-January 2020, 2 and the first4. This test has been authorized only for the detection of nucleic acid from -CoVSARS-2, not for any other viruses or pathogens. 5. This test is only authorized for the duration of the declaration that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of emergency use of in vitro diagnostic tests for detection and/or diagnosis of
