Italian term

riconfermare le caratteristiche

Italian to English Medical Medical: Pharmaceuticals Clinical Trial Agreement
Appears in a clinical trial agreement.

Context:
Le eventuali rimanenze di materiale sperimentale dovranno essere rese alla Ditta che avrà all’uopo approntato il sistema per il recupero del prodotto e per l’eventuale smaltimento dello stesso, avendo cura di conservare un adeguato campione sufficiente a **riconfermare le caratteristiche** del prodotto.

Thanks,
Dominic

confirm the product characteristics

They have to have a sample of the product so that the content of the product can be checked at a later stage i.e. "what was in the drug we tested in trial XYZ?". "Ah yes, it was A+B". These 'samples' are basicaly a record of that. So I can go back and have proof that the product did in fact contain "A+B". It is not necessarily so they can "reproduce" that product.

I am no expert in this field either, so you will need to wait for one to appear:)
Note from asker:
Thanks Liz. My problem is that I'm not highly specialised in this field and I don't understand what is meant in this context by "reconfirming product characteristics". Does it just mean that you need an adequate sample to able to "reconfirm the details of the drug's characteristics" or is it "riconfermare" in the sense of "renew" in which case it refers to the ability to "renew" or "reconstitute" the drug and its characteristics.
