Pre-analysis cell sorting for the MayoComplete Plasma Cell Myeloma panel

Clinical Information
Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test

Testing allows for further risk categorization of multiple myeloma (MM) through identifying additional abnormalities of prognostic and, potentially, therapeutic value. Application of targeted next-generation sequencing-based analysis is a useful adjunct to the standard evaluation of MM patients at diagnosis and relapse.

Reference Values
Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

Only orderable as a reflex. For more information see NGPCM / MayoComplete Plasma Cell Myeloma, Next-Generation Sequencing, Varies.

 

Not applicable

Interpretation
Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results

Correlation with clinical, histopathologic, and additional laboratory findings is required for final interpretation of these results. The final interpretation of results for clinical management of the patient is the responsibility of the managing physician.

Cautions
Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances

No significant cautionary statements

Method Description
Describes how the test is performed and provides a method-specific reference

Selection of plasma cells using fluorescence-activated cell sorting is the most direct and robust method of obtaining relatively pure plasma cell populations for molecular assessment. This, in turn, augments the ability to identify key mutations and subclonal variants of possible clinical value without dilution effects from non-tumor cell DNA.(Instruction manual: BD FACSMelody Cell Sorter User's Guide. Revision 3. BD Biosciences; 03/2020)

PDF Report
Indicates whether the report includes an additional document with charts, images or other enriched information

No

Day(s) Performed
Outlines the days the test is performed. This field reflects the day that the sample must be in the testing laboratory to begin the testing process and includes any specimen preparation and processing time before the test is performed. Some tests are listed as continuously performed, which means that assays are performed multiple times during the day.

Monday through Saturday

Report Available
The interval of time (receipt of sample at Mayo Clinic Laboratories to results available) taking into account standard setup days and weekends. The first day is the time that it typically takes for a result to be available. The last day is the time it might take, accounting for any necessary repeated testing.

1 to 2 days

Specimen Retention Time
Outlines the length of time after testing that a specimen is kept in the laboratory before it is discarded

DNA: 3 months

Performing Laboratory Location
Indicates the location of the laboratory that performs the test

Rochester

Test Classification
Provides information regarding the medical device classification for laboratory test kits and reagents. Tests may be classified as cleared or approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and used per manufacturer instructions, or as products that do not undergo full FDA review and approval, and are then labeled as an Analyte Specific Reagent (ASR) product.

This test was developed and its performance characteristics determined by Mayo Clinic in a manner consistent with CLIA requirements. It has not been cleared or approved by the US Food and Drug Administration.

CPT Code Information
Provides guidance in determining the appropriate Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code(s) information for each test or profile. The listed CPT codes reflect Mayo Clinic Laboratories interpretation of CPT coding requirements. It is the responsibility of each laboratory to determine correct CPT codes to use for billing.

CPT codes are provided by the performing laboratory.
