To create a new LOINC code, go to the LOINC navigator, right click the parent, and select Add new child concept.
This will open the new code in the editor.
Once you are done editing, save your changes. The new LOINC code is now visible in the LOINC navigator and can also be found in searches.
The code validation prevents you from authoring invalid codes, because errors have to be fixed before saving. If you enter an invalid value in the Ranking section, you will see a small error icon. Hover over the icon to get detailed information about the problem.
