About
Us
AAUIF
is an organization created for the well being of pregnant
mothers seeking elective ultrasound services from an accredited
ultrasound facility.
The AAUIF
is the first national regulatory association of its kind to offer
elective ultrasound facilities the opportunity to become accredited with
the industry's strictest guidelines. Here are just a few
guidelines you can expect from each AAUIF
facility:
-
Guidelines
and procedures of each AAUIF
accredited
facility is overseen by a licensed
medical obstetrician,
some of the industry's most skilled DMS
Sonographers
and industry professionals experienced in providing the safest
ultrasound experience available.
-
Each
ultrasound session is always performed by a real diagnostic medical Sonographer that has
graduated from an Allied Health Accredited school.
-
Please be aware that the term "Certified
Ultrasound Technicians" is being used by some non-AAUIF accredited facilities
and/or "techs" who are not DMS Sonographers and who
simply obtain non-accredited, non-medical ultrasound short
course "certifications" and “training in 3D/4D
technology.
-
To ensure your get a real sonographer for you and your baby, look for the gold seal.
-
Each
ultrasound session is limited to 30 minutes in length for your
safety.
-
Ultrasound
equipment is FDA approved and maintained by the manufacturer or a certified biomedical
engineering company.
-
In
the unlikely event an observation from your session needs to be
brought to their attention, we work directly with your physician
privately and confidentially. We respect the fact that your
physician/midwife is your primary care giver and that they make all decisions
about your care.
The
AAUIF
has
taken all the medical industry's ultrasound guidelines and applied them, as they are appropriate,
to the elective ultrasound industry to ensure each
pregnant mother receives the highest level of care this industry can
offer.
AAUIF facility locations
will carry the Instant
Accreditation Logo on their website.
