Allscripts (AEHR) Order Name	BK Virus DNA Urine
Sunrise Clinical Manager (SCM) Order Name	BK Virus DNA by PCR, Urine
EPIC Order Name	BK Virus (BKV) Molecular Detection, Quantitative, Urine
Clinical Info	This test is intended for use as an aid in the management of BKV in solid organ transplant patients and in hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients, as well as for monitoring BKV antiviral therapy.
Specimen Type	Urine
Specimen Volume
Container	Random urine or cobas® PCR Media tube
Collection Instructions	Container/Tube: Random Urine or Urine stabilized in Cobas® PCR Media Specimen : 10 mL of urine (0.5 mL min) If using the Cobas® PCR Media Fill urine to fall within the 2 black lines on the cobas® PCR Media tube. Transport Temperature: Refrigerated Stability: 2 days Refrigerated 90 Days if using the Cobas® PCR Media tube Note: Specimen must be received within 48 hours of collection. Collection instructions if using the Cobas® PCR Media tube Collect a urine sample in a sterile cup. Transfer the urine using the transfer pipette included in the cobas® PCR Urine Sample Kit to the cobas® PCR Media tube. Transfer enough urine so the level falls between the two black lines on the cobas® PCR Media tube. Cap the tube tightly and invert 5 times to mix the sample.
Transport Instructions	Specimen must be received within 48 hours of collection, if not, transferred into the Cobas(R) PCR Media tube
Specimen Stability	2 days Refrigerated 90 Days if using the Cobas(R) PCR media tube
Methodology	Nucleic Acid Amplification (NAA)
Days Performed	TAT: 3 Days

Result Interpretation The linear range of the assay is 200-100,000,000 IU/mL (2.30 to 8.0 log₁₀ IU/mL). Assay lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) is 200 IU/mL (2.30 log₁₀ IU/mL) Below the LLOQ will be reported as Detected <200 IU/mL (<2.30 log₁₀IU/mL)
