Allergen-compounding errors and unprepared anaphylaxis responses can be fatal — and they generate some of the most aggressive state-board investigations in healthcare. USP-797 rules apply to any practice that mixes or repackages allergen extracts. Anaphylaxis emergency-response drills are an OSHA general-duty expectation for any practice that administers high-risk allergens.

Everything you need to manage allergen safety & anaphylaxis in one platform.
Documented procedures for allergen extract mixing, repackaging, labeling, and storage. Track which staff are authorized to compound and when their competency last verified.
Schedule and record quarterly anaphylaxis emergency-response drills. Document who participated, what scenario was run, equipment checked, and any findings — all retained for OSHA / state-board inquiry.
Per-equipment log for epinephrine auto-injectors, oxygen tanks, AEDs, and emergency carts. Track expirations, lot numbers, and last inspection date with auto-reminders before any item expires.
Per-staff competency check for allergen administration, anaphylaxis response, and emergency-equipment use. Locks unauthorized staff out of compounding workflows until they complete the gated training.
Scenario-based quiz with server-side answer-key (no client-side leak). Tracks per-staff scores and completion, with auto-assignment for new hires and retake on failure.
Anaphylaxis incidents flow into the OSHA injury/illness log if staff are affected; allergen-extract documentation links to HIPAA policy templates for patient consent and record retention.
Get compliant in three straightforward steps.
During onboarding, indicate whether your practice compounds allergens or administers high-risk allergens. GuardWell auto-activates the matching USP-797 + anaphylaxis-response checklists.
Schedule the first quarterly anaphylaxis drill and log your in-house allergen equipment (epinephrine, oxygen, AED, emergency cart). GuardWell sets up the recurring reminder cadence based on what you logged.
Assign the allergen safety quiz + drill participation to relevant staff. The competency gate locks unauthorized staff out of compounding workflows until they pass. Quarterly digest emails surface upcoming drills, expiring equipment, and lapsed competencies.
Common questions about allergen safety & anaphylaxis.
Allergy/immunotherapy practices that compound or repackage allergen extracts (USP-797), ENT and asthma clinics that administer high-risk allergens, dental practices that handle latex allergens, and any practice that maintains in-house emergency response capability for anaphylaxis. If your practice has an epinephrine auto-injector or oxygen tank on the wall, this module is for you.
GuardWell tracks the documentation side of USP-797 compounding compliance: who is authorized to compound, when their competency was last verified, what procedures are followed, equipment maintenance logs, and the policy framework. The actual compounding work happens in your practice's clean room or compounding area; GuardWell records the proof that you're following the standard.
Best practice (and the OSHA general-duty expectation for high-risk allergen practices) is quarterly drills. GuardWell defaults to quarterly with email reminders 14 days before each drill is due. You can adjust the cadence in Settings if your state-board or accrediting body requires a different frequency.
The competency gate locks that staff member out of any compounding workflow until they retake the relevant training and pass the quiz. Admins are notified when a gate is triggered so they can schedule remediation. The Activity Log tracks every gate event for audit purposes.
Yes. If a staff anaphylaxis exposure or injury occurs, the incident links to the OSHA 300/300A/301 logs in the Incident Management module so it's reportable and reviewed at year-end. Equipment expirations also flow into the OSHA preparedness checklist.
