Innovation Lab

Lab metrics that procurement and clinical teams can audit.

Henry Schein Innovation Lab publishes planning dashboards for dental equipment readiness, IVD supply continuity, infection-control packaging, UDI/IFU retrieval, and field-service escalation — framed for value analysis review, not as clinical outcome claims.

Data dashboard

Six workstream views for pilot readiness

Each chart is a planning indicator for documentation completeness, replenishment risk, and service routing. Percentages and tonnage figures describe process coverage, not device performance or therapeutic success.

Lab disclosures and pilot packs

Request the packet that matches your committee agenda. Files are planning and documentation aids; regulatory status remains product- and market-specific.

Regulatory timeline

Milestones that shape lab workstreams

  1. MDR Annex II.6 environmental evidence in TDF packs

    Packaging and waste notes for infection-control and dental consumables are aligned to EU MDR technical documentation expectations where the marketed product requires them.

  2. UDI-first catalog intelligence pilots

    Multi-site dental groups and laboratories map product names to UDI, IFU, lot controls, and purchasing notes before expanding SKU breadth.

  3. Cybersecurity & interoperability review gates

    Where equipment touches practice-management or LIS workflows, pilots capture SBOM, patch ownership, and HL7 / middleware touchpoints without claiming universal interface readiness.

  4. Post-market surveillance feedback loop

    Complaint and field-action language stays product-specific. The lab routes PMS questions to the correct customer feedback process instead of marketing replies. Where design or manufacturing change is involved, reviewers still verify DHF and DMR ownership with the responsible manufacturer — distribution documentation is not a substitute for those controlled files.
