Donor, HIV-1/2 plus O Antibody Screen with Reflex to Differentiation
Test Code94973
CPT Codes
86703
Includes
If HIV-1/2 plus O Antibody Screen is Reactive or Indeterminate, then HIV-1/2 Antibody Differentiation (Supplemental Use Only) will be performed at an additional charge (CPT codes: 86701, 86702).
Preferred Specimen
4 mL serum
Minimum Volume
2.5 mL
Other Acceptable Specimens
Plasma collected in: EDTA (lavender-top) tube
Instructions
Label the tubes according to your standard operating procedure, making sure that each tube has at least two unique patient identifiers.
If transport temperature will be frozen, centrifuge the red/lavender top tube and transfer the serum/plasma into a plastic screw-cap vial. The plastic screw-cap vial (aliquot tube) containing serum or plasma must be labeled with the specimen type (serum or plasma) and at least two unique patient identifiers. Aliquot tubes must be processed and labeled at the original collection site. If aliquot tubes are submitted, do not send the original red/lavender top tube.
Please note: This test is to be used for the screening of DONORS of human cells, tissues, and cellular and tissue-based products for infectious diseases.
For Shipper collection please see detailed instructions in Test Resources.
