Panelists MUST Read the Following Panelist Biosafety Procedure Before Coming to the Facility

When you arrive at our facility, the new precautionary and safety procedures outlined below will help keep you and our staff safe during these challenging times.

• Panelists will be contacted prior to their initiation in any special project or photobiology clinical trial to have their general health assessed. Any panelist noting or exhibiting signs of COVID‐19 will not be scheduled for such clinical trial, and will be turned away from our facility, should they appear.
• Panelists will be required to arrive at the facility 15 minutes prior to their scheduled time for special studies or photobiology studies.  Personal items, other than identification required for participation, will be limited in the facility.
• Panelists will be allowed to have minor children accompany them into the facility for their patch testing appointment.  All minor children who accompany their parent/legal guardian will be required to follow the same Biosafety procedures as the panelist on a panel.  The parent/legal guardian will be responsible to ensure that any children brought into the facility do not stray from the panelist, and do not touch the curtains, door handles etc.  The parent/legal guardian will be required to sign a waiver for any minor child that they bring into the facility.
• Panelists and children over the age of 2, will be required to wear masks that meet minimum standards for their protection and the safety of our staff.  If the security officers deem that a mask does not meet the minimum standards you will not be allowed in the building.
• Panelists and any accompanying child, who are scheduled for a trial, will have their temperature taken for a Pass/Fail (>100.4), and any person that fails will not be admitted to the facility.
• Panelists and any accompanying child, who are admitted into the facility, will sanitize their hands prior to entering, and when leaving, the facility.
• Panelists and any accompanying child, shall refrain from touching hard surfaces, such as doorknobs, counters, and benches.
• Panelists shall be provided trial documents, that need to be read and signed, in a container which will be sanitized after each use. Their daily schedule, instructions, and additional study paperwork, will be provided in this sealed plastic zip‐lock bag.  Each time that panelists arrive for their clinical trial, they will return with their trial documents in that sealed plastic zip‐lock bag.
• Panelists shall not loiter in the building, but will exit the building immediately upon completion of  their trial visit. 

We want to make all of our panelists feel comfortable when participating in studies at our facility. We will be doing our best to make this a positive experience for all of our panelists. Thank you for participating at CPT℠ and we hope to see you soon.
