No further action is needed unless recent infection is expected. Equivocal: Antibodies to HCV may or may not be present. HCV RNA testing will follow to identify current infection. Reactive: Presumptive evidence of antibodies to HCV. HCV RNA testing will follow to identify current infection. *** North Shore University Hospital (Inpatient) Cutoff Index (COI) Interpretation ≤0.89 Non-Reactive 0.90 ≤ COI < 1.00 Border > 1.00 Reactive Border results are retested in duplicate (2 of 3 results) to resolve final results.
