Exceltox Laboratories Inc Receives Accreditation From CAP

The Accreditation Committee of the College of American Pathologists (CAP) has awarded accreditation to Exceltox Laboratories Inc Laboratory, Irvine, California based on results of a recent on-site inspection as part of the CAP’s Accreditation Programs.

Irvine, CA (PRWEB) - Exceltox Laboratories Inc Laboratory, Irvine, California has been awarded accreditation by the College of American Pathologists (CAP) based on results of a recent on-site inspection as part of the CAP’s Accreditation Programs.

The facility’s director, Todd A. Glauser, MD, was advised of this national recognition and congratulated for the excellence of the services being provided. Exceltox Laboratories Inc Laboratory is one of more than 7,000 CAP-accredited facilities worldwide.

The U.S. federal government recognizes the CAP Laboratory Accreditation Program, begun in the early 1960’s, 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.
