The ¸£Àû¼§ÊÓƵQualified Testing Sites program connects manufacturers of oral health care products with research sites qualified to test products’ safety and efficacy. Manufacturers applying to the ADASeal program may choose from the ¸£Àû¼§ÊÓƵQualified Testing Sites directory of vetted research sites, ensuring high-quality studies are conducted without the need for additional confirmatory testing.
¸£Àû¼§ÊÓƵQualified Testing Sites undergo a vetting process by the ¸£Àû¼§ÊÓƵCouncil on Scientific Affairs and meet the following criteria:
- Research sites are fully independent
- Necessary protocols are followed
- Sites produce accurate valid & reliable data
If the testing site meets these strict criteria, it earns Qualified status. This indicates to product manufacturers that the ¸£Àû¼§ÊÓƵhas evaluated the site for its ability to conduct required testing in support of Seal Program applications.
Benefits of working with an ¸£Àû¼§ÊÓƵQualified Testing Site include:
- Streamlines the process of finding a reliable testing site with high-quality data
- Qualified Sites are dental school labs with rigorous protocols and highly competitive pricing
- No need for additional confirmatory testing
