A mobile service is comprised of one or more units (technologist and equipment) that provide vascular testing services at one or more locations and meet the following criteria, without exception:

1. The entire mobile service must share the same Medical Director.

2. The entire mobile service must be supervised by the same Technical Director, who is responsible for ongoing evaluation of the technical component of the testing performed by the mobile service.

3. All medical staff interpreting mobile vascular examinations must be included in the application for accreditation.

4. All technical staff performing mobile vascular examinations must be included in the application for accreditation.

5. All physicians and technologists must participate together in quality assurance and education programs, including in-house conferences.

6. The entire mobile service must utilize identical protocols.

7. The entire mobile service must utilize the same diagnostic criteria.

8. The entire mobile service must utilize the same level of equipment for all testing.

THINGS TO KNOW IF YOU ARE A MOBILE SERVICE LABORATORY

If eligible, applicants with a mobile service may apply with a single application and will be assessed
a $750 mobile application fee.

If accreditation is granted, it will be granted to the mobile service collectively, and not to each location individually (although the name and address of each location will be entered into the ICAVL database).

Applicants with mobile services that are granted accreditation will receive one certificate, listing the institution name as listed in the accreditation agreement, for each testing area.

All ICAVL correspondence will go through the laboratory listed on the accreditation agreement.


ADDING A MULTIPLE SITE OR A MOBILE SERVICE

Laboratories wanting to add a multiple site and/or mobile service to an application that has already been granted accreditation must submit the completed multiple site / mobile service supplement and an updated equipment table (if applicable). If any physicians and/or technologists have been hired since accreditation was granted, it will be necessary to contact the ICAVL office regarding the submission of staff forms and representative cases for these staff members. In addition to the multiple site / mobile service fee, there may be an added fee to review the staff forms and representative cases. If the added multiple site or mobile service is accepted into the laboratory’s accreditation, accreditation for the added multiple site or mobile service will expire when the laboratory's original accreditation expires.
