Comments Accepted Through March 15, 2023
In keeping with the IAC’s continued commitment to give our applicant facilities a voice in the accreditation process, we are pleased to announce the opportunity to comment on a proposed revision to the IAC Standards & Guidelines for Peripheral Arterial Intervention Accreditation, IAC Standards & Guidelines for Deep Venous Intervention Accreditation and IAC Standards for Hemodialysis Access Intervention Accreditation. The 30-day public comment period will be available February 15-March 15, 2023.
The Standards are reviewed periodically by the IAC Vascular Interventional Board of Directors and revised as needed. As a component to the accreditation process, proposed Standards that have been approved by the Board of Directors are then posted to the IAC website for a public comment period. These proposed Standards include changes to the current Standards and/or the addition of new Standards.
The proposed change to the Standards for Sterilization of Medical Instruments in Section 2A would apply to all three sets of Standards for Peripheral Arterial, Deep Venous and Hemodialysis Access Intervention.
