Test ID: FFTPG
Treponema pallidum Antibody (FTA-ABS), Serum, IgG by IFA with Reflex to Treponema pallidum Antibody by TP-PA
NY State Approved 
Indicates the status of NY State approval and if the test is orderable for NY State clients.
Yes
Reflex Tests Lists test(s) that may or may not be performed, at an additional charge, depending on the result and interpretation of the initial test(s)
| Test ID | Reporting Name | Available Separately | Always Performed |
|---|---|---|---|
| FFTP | Treponema pallidum Ab by TP-PA | No | No |
Testing Algorithm Delineates situation(s) when tests are added to the initial order. This includes reflex and additional tests.
When T. pallidum Ab (FTA-ABS), IgG is reported as Inconclusive, "Treponema pallidum Ab by TP-PA" will be performed at an additional charge.
Method Name A short description of the method used to perform the test
Semi-Quantitative Indirect Fluorescent Antibody
Semi-Quantitative Particle Agglutination, if appropriate
Reporting Name A shorter/abbreviated version of the Published Name for a test; an abbreviated test name
T. pallidum Ab (FTA-ABS), IgG
Specimen Type Describes the specimen type needed for testing
Serum
Specimen Required Defines the optimal specimen. This field describes the type of specimen required to perform the test and the preferred volume to complete testing. The volume allows automated processing, fastest throughput and, when indicated, repeat or reflex testing.
Draw blood in a plain red-top tube(s), serum gel tube is acceptable. Spin down, and send 1 mL of serum refrigerated in a plastic vial.
Specimen Minimum Volume Defines the amount of specimen required to perform an assay once, including instrument and container dead space. Submitting the minimum specimen volume makes it impossible to repeat the test or perform confirmatory or perform reflex testing. In some situations, a minimum specimen volume may result in a QNS (quantity not sufficient) result, requiring a second specimen to be collected.
0.5 mL
Reject Due To Identifies specimen types and conditions that may cause the specimen to be rejected
| Hemolysis: | Mild OK; Gross reject |
| Thawing: | Warm reject; Cold OK |
| Lipemia: | Mild OK; Gross reject |
| Icterus: | NA |
| Other: | NA |
Specimen Stability Information Provides a description of the temperatures required to transport a specimen to the laboratory. Alternate acceptable temperature(s) are also included.
| Specimen Type | Temperature | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Serum | Refrigerated (preferred) | 14 days |
| Frozen | 365 days | |
| Ambient | 48 hours |
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
T. Pallidum Ab, IgG (FTA-ABS): Non Reactive
Treponema pallidum Ab by TP-PA: Non Reactive
Test Performed By: ARUP Laboratories
500 Chipeta Way
Salt Lake City, UT 84108
Day(s) and Time(s) Test Performed Outlines the days and times the test is performed. This field reflects the day and time the sample must be in the testing laboratory to begin the testing process and includes any specimen preparation and processing time required before the test is performed. Some tests are listed as continuously performed, which means assays are performed several times during the day.
Sunday through Saturday
Analytic Time Defines the amount of time it takes the laboratory to setup and perform the test. This is defined in number of days. The shortest interval of time expressed is "same day/1 day," which means the results may be available the same day that the sample is received in the testing laboratory. One day means results are available 1 day after the sample is received in the laboratory.
1 - 4 days
Maximum Laboratory Time Defines the maximum time from specimen receipt at Mayo Medical Laboratories until the release of the test result
3 - 8 days
Performing Laboratory Location The location of the laboratory that performs the test
ARUP Laboratories
CPT Code Information Provides guidance in determining the appropriate Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code(s) information for each test or profile. The listed CPT codes reflect Mayo Medical Laboratories interpretation of CPT coding requirements. It is the responsibility of each laboratory to determine correct CPT codes to use for billing.
86780 - T. pallidum Ab (FTA-ABS), IgG
86780 – Treponema pallidum Ab by TP-PA (if appropriate)
LOINC® Code Information Provides guidance in determining the Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes (LOINC) values for the result codes returned for this test or profile.
| Result ID | Reporting Name | LOINC Code |
|---|---|---|
| Z2653 | T. Pallidum Ab, IgG (FTA-ABS) | 17726-1 |
