I know all of this can be confussing.  But this is what I found on the internet:

The ANAchoice(TM) Cascading Reflex provides physicians with
a cost-effective and medically justified approach to
evaluating a patient with suspected rheumatologic disease.
Eleven antibodies associated with specific rheumatologic
disease entities are analyzed and resulted in sequential
tiers until positive findings are reported. The test is not
intended for the work-up of autoimmune hepatitis or other
non-rheumatologic diseases.  

Test Components
•ANAchoice(R) Screen
•Centromere B Antibody
•Chromatin (Nucleosomal) Antibody
•DNA (ds) Antibody
•Jo-1 Antibody
•Ribosomal P Antibody
•RNP Antibody
•Scl-70 Antibody
Sjogren's Antibody (SS-A)
Sjogren's Antibody (SS-B)
•Sm Antibody
•Sm/RNP Antibody

So a positive test just means further evaluation will probably be done.  It takes more than a positive ANA to dx any autoimmune.  Other things, including things that are not autoimmune can cause an elevated ANA.
