Summary
This is a Proprietary Laboratory Analyses (PLA) code, meaning that the code applies to only one unique lab test made by a specific manufacturer or performed by a specific lab. Report 0601U only for Synovasure® Comprehensive PJI Test Panel with SynTuitionTM from CD Laboratories Inc., a division of Zimmer Biomet. This test assesses synovial fluid from around a joint implant to evaluate for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). It analyzes 11 biomarkers using immunoassays, hematology, and clinical chemistry methods. The test combines results from these biomarkers (including immune response proteins, microbial antigens, and cell measurements) into a diagnostic algorithm that reports a probability score indicating the likelihood of infection.
