ACFAOM PARTNERSHIP
Biomedix has partnered with the American College of Foot & Ankle Orthopedics & Medicine (ACFAOM)
BioMedix Vascular Solutions, Inc. has partnered with a well-established national podiatric medical comprehensive certification program to train technicians to operate BioMedix’s PADnet+ vascular testing equipment, technology developed for the early detection of P.A.D.
The comprehensive training and certification program consists of three components:
- PADnet+ informational tools including a training manual, a PADnet+ User Guide and a tutorial CD-Rom
- On-site training by a Clinical Specialist demonstrating how to perform an Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI), Toe-Brachial Index (TBI), Pulse Volume Recordings (PVR) and venous refill using the PADnet+ system
- Content-based examination that tests on PADnet+ operating issues, patient selection criteria and patient education
The requirements for ACFAOM certification are:
- Completion of a comprehensive training program
- Passage of a Web-based multiple-choice examination
- Completion of 10 tests on patients, reviewed for accuracy and quality of results
After successful completion of the ACFAOM training and certification program, ACFAOM will award a Certificate of Competence in Community-Based Peripheral Arterial Testing. This certificate verifies a tecnician's proficiency in operating PADnet equipment. If a technician does not successfully complete the certification program, a Clinical Specialist may provide additional training.
