Noninvasive Vascular Lab Earns Recognition

Lima Memorial's Noninvasive Vascular Laboratory has been recognized for their dedication to providing quality care and testing for the diagnosis of vascular disease. The facility achieved re-accreditation by the Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Vascular Laboratories (ICAVL). The Lab has been accredited since 1995.

The Noninvasive Vascular Lab at Lima Memorial performs diagnostic testing to determine a patient's risk for cardiovascular disease, stroke and deep vein thrombosis.

The Lab is one of the elite laboratories in the country to meet or exceed the ICAVL standards for noninvasive vascular testing. During the accreditation process, every detail of a laboratory's daily operations and its impact on the care provided to patients is carefully scrutinized. Accredited laboratories are required to identify and correct potential problems, revise protocols and validate quality assurance programs.

Participation in the accreditation process confirms Lima Memorial Noninvasive Vascular Lab's attention to high level patient care and quality testing. ICAVL accreditation is valid for three years.
