Specimen Type Describes the specimen type needed for testing

Varies

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.

SUBMIT ONE ON THE FOLLOWING SPECIMENS:

 

Plasma:

Draw blood in a purple-top (EDTA) tube(s) or white top (EDTA

PPT) tube(s). Spin down within 2 hours and send 1 mL of EDTA

plasma frozen.

Specimen Stability Information: Frozen (preferred)/Refrigerated <8 days

 

Blood:

Draw blood in lavender-top (EDTA) tube(s), and send 2-5 mL

of whole blood frozen.

Specimen Stability Information: Frozen (preferred)/Refrigerated <8 days

 

 

CSF:

Collect 1 mL in a sterile container and ship frozen.

Specimen Stability Information: Frozen

 

 

BAL:

Collect 1 mL in a sterile container and ship frozen.

Specimen Stability Information: Frozen (preferred)/Refrigerated <8 days

 

 

 

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.

0.3 mL

Reject Due To Identifies specimen types and conditions that may cause the specimen to be rejected

Specimens other than

Plasma, whole blood, CSF, BAL

Anticoagulants other than

EDTA, PPT-Potassium EDTA (white-top)

Hemolysis

NA

Thawing

NA

Lipemia

Icteric

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 TypeTemperatureTime

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.

UL97 Mutation/UL54 Mutation:  Not Detected

 

Ganciclovir (GCV)/Foscarnet (PFA)/Cidofovir (CDV):  Not Predicted

 

The method used in this test is PCR and sequencing of the

phosphotransferase (UL 97) gene and the polymerase (UL 54) gene

of CMV.

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.

Tuesday

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.

7 days

Maximum Laboratory Time Defines the maximum time from specimen receipt at Mayo Medical Laboratories until the release of the test result

10 - 20 days

Performing Laboratory Location The location of the laboratory that performs the test

Quest Diagnostics/Nichols Institute

Test Classification Provides information regarding the medical device classification for laboratory test kits and reagents. Tests may be classified as cleared or approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and used per manufacturer's instructions, or as products that do not undergo full FDA review and approval, and are then labeled as an Analyte Specific Reagent (ASR), Investigation Use Only (IUO) product, or a Research Use Only (RUO) product.

This test was developed and its performance characteristics determined by Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute, San Juan Capistrano. Performance characteristics refer to the analytical performance of the test.

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.
