Test Code LAB123803 Respiratory Panel, PCR, Varies
Ordering Guidance
This assay is not predicted to detect severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-associated coronavirus or Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS)-coronavirus.
This test is appropriate for bronchoalveolar lavage or bronchial washings only. For nasopharyngeal swab specimens order Asante Respiratory Panel Film Array LAB5570.
This test is not intended for otherwise healthy, immunocompetent patients who are likely to have a mild, self-limited respiratory infection. If testing is desired, these patients should be tested using the more targeted diagnostic assays based on their exposure history and clinical presentation. These tests are also not recommended to be concomitantly ordered when this test is ordered.
