Interpretations of the presence or absence of a component / analyte or organism in a test or of a sign in a clinical observation. In keeping with laboratory data processing practice, these concepts provide a categorical interpretation of the "meaning" of the quantitative value for the same observation.

1http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-ObservationInterpretation  ObservationInterpretationDetectionObservationInterpretationDetection

Interpretations of the presence or absence of a component / analyte or organism in a test or of a sign in a clinical observation. In keeping with laboratory data processing practice, these concepts provide a categorical interpretation of the "meaning" of the quantitative value for the same observation.

2http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-ObservationInterpretation    INDIndeterminate

The specified component / analyte, organism or clinical sign could neither be declared positive / negative nor detected / not detected by the performed test or procedure.

Usage Note: For example, if the specimen was degraded, poorly processed, or was missing the required anatomic structures, then "indeterminate" (i.e. "cannot be determined") is the appropriate response, not "equivocal".

3http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-ObservationInterpretation      EEquivocal

The test or procedure was successfully performed, but the results are borderline and can neither be declared positive / negative nor detected / not detected according to the current established criteria.

2http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-ObservationInterpretation    NEGNegative

An absence finding of the specified component / analyte, organism or clinical sign based on the established threshold of the performed test or procedure.

[Note: Negative does not necessarily imply the complete absence of the specified item.]

3http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-ObservationInterpretation      NDNot detected

The presence of the specified component / analyte, organism or clinical sign could not be determined within the limit of detection of the performed test or procedure.

2http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-ObservationInterpretation    POSPositive

A presence finding of the specified component / analyte, organism or clinical sign based on the established threshold of the performed test or procedure.

3http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-ObservationInterpretation      DETDetected

The measurement of the specified component / analyte, organism or clinical sign above the limit of detection of the performed test or procedure.
