In the spreadsheet column OTC - At-Home w/AI from Lucira the All-In-One test or the Check-IT test?

Thanks!

Never mind...found it in meeting notes.

Michelle Miller, Informatics Michelle - We asked Lucira and this is their answer:
 
The 2 tests are identical.

“all-in-one” test is the name of the prescription test
“Check-IT” is the OTC that anyone can readily buy.
 
So, I guess the answer is “Check-IT” for the OTC version that Lucira is sending to AIMS.
