Changes to Ordering Quantitative Flow Cytometry Panels, Monday, March 18, 2024

Beginning Tuesday, March 19th 2024, Quantitative Flow Cytometry orders will be discretely orderable tests in Epic:

CVID IMMUNODEFICIENCY PANEL, FLOW CYTOMETRY [LAB9400]
CVID IMMUNODEFICIENCY + RA/RO, FLOW CYTOMETRY [LAB9404]
CVID IMMUNODEFICIENCY WITH MEM-B, FLOW CYTOMETRY [LAB9405]
CVID IMMUNODEFICIENCY + MEMB + RA/RO, FLOW CYTOMETRY [LAB9406]
ADD-ON ONLY TO CVID, RA/RO, FLOW CYTOMETRY [LAB9407]
ADD-ON ONLY TO CVID, MEMORY B CELLS, FLOW CYTOMETRY [LAB9428]
AUTOIMMUNE LYMPHOPROLIFERATIVE SYNDROME (ALPS), FLOW CYTOMETRY [LAB9411]
TBNK IMMUNOPHENOTYPING WHOLE BLOOD, FLOW CYTOMETRY [LAB9383]
RITUXIMAB PANEL, FLOW CYTOMETRY [LAB9412] (test code 1230109739)
HEMOPHAGOCYTIC LYMPHOHISTIOCYTOSIS, FLOW CYTOMETRY [LAB9410]

These panels will no longer be available to select in the Order Composer for:

FLOW CYTOMETRY ANALYSIS, BLOOD [LAB8255]
FLOW CYTOMETRY ANALYSIS, BONE MARROW [LAB8284]
FLOW CYTOMETRY ANALYSIS, OTHER [LAB8254]

However, those orders will still be available for selecting malignancy panels.

These changes will facilitate the expedited performance and robust performance of these quantitative assays.
