description | HL7-defined code system of concepts identifying the repeat status for the analyte/result (e.g. original, rerun, repeat, reflex). The following are assumptions regarding the table values:
Repeated without dilution — performed usually to confirm correctness of results (e.g., in case of results flagged as "Panic" or mechanical failures).
Repeated with dilution — performed usually in the case the original result exceeded the measurement range (technical limits).
Reflex test — this test is performed as the consequence of rules triggered based on other test result(s). Used in HL7 Version 2.x messaging in the Test Code Detail (TCD) segment. | |
