Re-Accreditation and Quality Assurance
Each fully accredited person must be audited by the FMF annually for quality assurance. IF you hold the NT accreditation, this is your primary expiration date and all markers default to your NT expiry date. IF you only hold the Preeclampsia Screening accreditation, the annual re-accreditation date will default to the PE expiry date.
The annual re-accreditation fee covers all submissions (example: NT and UtaD) within the calendar year.

The audit involves:
- Examination of the quality of 3 images for each audit type (NT and/or Uterine artery Doppler/Preeclampsia) from each accredited person. Images must be Less than 12 months old from the date of submission and acquired after the last audit. NOTE: Data/distribution analysis is no longer required.
An audit is considered to be satisfactory if the quality of the images meets the FMF image criteria.
If the images do not meet the FMF image criteria, recommendations will be provided and a follow-up of new image submission within 3 months required.
