Sponsor's own description
Whilst validated tools exist to enable inpatient penicillin assessment and de-labelling, limited evidence is available regarding the safety and efficacy in the outpatient clinic. The ability to deliver point-of-care penicillin allergy testing for a large cohort of patients, without skin testing, will improve patient access to testing and utilization of preferred penicillin antibiotics.
