3 IS USUBJID Unique Subject Identifier Char Identifier Req Identifier used to uniquely identify a subject across all studies for all applications or submissions involving the product.
4 IS NHOID Non-host Organism ID Char Identifier Perm Sponsor-defined identifier for a non-host organism which should only be used when the organism is the subject of the TEST. This variable should be populated with an intuitive name based on the identity of the non-host organism as reported by a lab (e.g., "A/California/7/2009 (H1N1)"). It is not to be used as a qualifier of the result in the record on which it appears.

9 IS ISTESTCD Immunogenicity Test/Exam Short Name Char C120525 Topic Req Short name of the measurement, test, or examination described in ISTEST. It can be used as a column name when converting a dataset from a vertical to a horizontal format. The value in ISTESTCD cannot be longer than 8 characters, nor can it start with a number (e.g., "1TEST" is not valid). ISTESTCD cannot contain characters other than letters, numbers, or underscores.
10 IS ISTEST Immunogenicity Test or Examination Name Char C120526 Synonym Qualifier Req Verbatim name of the test or examination used to obtain the measurement or finding. The value in ISTEST cannot be longer than 40 characters. Example: "Immunoglobulin E".

C181169
Variable Qualifier Perm Text description of the agent that is binding to the entity in the ISTEST variable. ISBDAGNT is used to indicate that there is a binding relationship between the entities in the ISTEST and ISBDAGNT variables, regardless of direction. \n ISBDAGNT is not a method qualifier. It should only be used when the actual interest of the measurement is the binding interaction between the 2 entities in ISTEST and ISBDAGNT. In other words, the combination of ISTEST and ISBDAGNT should describe the entity or the analyte being measured, without the need for additional variables. \n The binding agent may be (but is not limited to) a test article, a portion of the test article, a related compound, an endogenous molecule, an allergen, or an infectious agent.

23 IS ISSTRESC Character Result/Finding in Std Format Char Result Qualifier Exp Contains the result value for all findings copied or derived from ISORRES, in a standard format or in standard units. ISSTRESC should store all results or findings in character format; if results are numeric, they should also be stored in numeric format in ISSTRESN.
24 IS ISSTRESN Numeric Results/Findings in Std. Units Num Result Qualifier Exp Used for continuous or numeric results or findings in standard format; copied in numeric format from ISSTRESC. ISSTRESN should store all numeric test results or findings.

Examples of records that might be derived for the submission datasets include those that represent the average of other records, do not come from the CRF, or are not as originally received or collected. If ISDRVFL="Y", then ISORRES may be null, with ISSTRESC and (if numeric) ISSTRESN having the derived value.
