ALK-Abello announces FDA approval of AccuTest allergy skin testing devices

ALK announced the licensing of a new line of ALK branded allergy skin testing devices and well trays. This new line includes the AccuTest-1, AccuTest-8 and AccuTest-10 Allergy Skin Testing Devices for allergy testing and diagnosis as well as the AccuTest 48-well and 60-well allergen trays. The new line consists of the single skin prick testing device, AccuTest-1, and the multi-head AccuTest-8 and the AccuTest-10. The multi-head applicators are 8-head and 10-head models, respectively, and are designed with enhanced ergonomics, like larger top surface area and ribbed grip, for more uniform pressure leading to more consistent and reliable results. Both single prick and multi-head devices feature smaller tine lengths and diameters, to increase accuracy and minimize discomfort to the patient.
