ImmunID Receives Accreditation From College of American Pathologists
GRENOBLE, France, June 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The Accreditation Committee of the College of American Pathologists (CAP) has awarded accreditation to ImmunID's laboratory (Grenoble, France) based on results of a recent on-site inspection as part of the CAP's Accreditation Programs.
The facility's director, Jean-Francois Mouret, PharmD, was advised of this national recognition and congratulated for the excellence of the services being provided. ImmunID is one of more than 7,700 CAP-accredited facilities worldwide.
ImmunID's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Bernhard Sixt said: "ImmunID's key policy is to adhere to the highest quality standards for the sake of patients and for a peace of mind for physicians. Hence we see our CAP accreditation as a logical step following our earlier ISO 13485 certification."
The U.S. federal government recognizes the CAP Laboratory Accreditation Program, begun in the early 1960s, as being equal-to or more-stringent-than the government's own inspection program.
During the CAP accreditation process, designed to ensure the highest standard of care for all laboratory patients, inspectors examine the laboratory's records and quality control of procedures for the preceding two years. CAP inspectors also examine laboratory staff qualifications, equipment, facilities, safety program and record, and overall management.
