TS-000154 — There are 10 skin testing devices marketed in the United States for diagnosing allergies. These include single-tipped devices for testing allergens one at a time, as well as multi-head devices containing multiple testing tips on one device. One of the recently introduced multi-head devices is designed to decrease pain associated with skin testing. Current multi-head testing devices with fixed horizontal surfaces do not provide consistent intra-device contact with skin, while the single-prick devices can be impractical for children and time consuming. Clinicians at Nationwide Children’s Hospital and The Ohio State University, in collaborations with other independent inventors, have developed a new allergy skin testing device, PS Rocker, which improves upon existing products by combining the precision of a single prick test with the ease and speed of a multi-head device. Additionally, PS Rocker is less painful than traditional skin prick testing. The PS Rocker’s crescent-shaped, ergonomic design enables more reproducible tip contact with the skin than conventional horizontal multi-head devices, efficiently leading to more reliable results. Clinical studies of PS Rocker are currently underway at Nationwide Children’s Hospital testing effectiveness of PS Rocker.
