Per VHA Directive, this file has been 'locked down' by Data Standardization (DS). The file definition (i.e. data dictionary) shall
not be modified. All additions, changes and deprecation to entries in this file shall be done by Enterprise Reference Terminology
(ERT) using the Master File Server (MFS), provided by the Common Services (CS). Creating and/or editing locally defined fields in
the file are not permitted. Use of locally defined fields that were created prior to the VHA's effective Directive shall not be
supported.
The LOINC file contains an extraction of the LOINC database. The LOINC database provides sets of universal names and ID codes for
identifying laboratory and clinical test results.
This file is a standard file distributed by Dallas CIOFO and should not be edited locally.
This file structure and data were initially copied from the LAB LOINC (#95.3) file with some obsolete fields removed. The other
difference between the two files is that a new ACTIVATION STATUS multiple was also added. Since Regenstrief had no historical
information, this multiple was populated in the following way:
> If the CHANGE TYPE field is not equal to "DEL", then there is one
entry with date of 6/29/2015 and Status of Active.
> If the CHANGE TYPE field is equal to "DEL", then there are two
entries. The first has a date that is one day before the LAST CHANGE
DATE with a status of Active. The second entry has a date equal to
the LAST CHANGE DATE with a status of Inactive.

DESCRIPTION: Note: the data contained in this field contains some incorrect values due to errors in the LOINC
released database. When check digit computation errors are discovered - STATUS (#20) field is
marked as DEL preventing the code from being assigned. Once a LOINC has been released it is never
deleted from the database.
This field contains the LOINC number modulo 10 check digit. The instruction for calculating a Mod
10 check digit is as follows: (1) Take the odd digit positions counting from the right (2) Multiply
by 2 (3) Take the even digits starting from the right (4) Append these to the front of the results
of (2) (5) Add the digits of (4) together (6) Find the next highest multiple of 10 (7) Subtract (5)
