(a) Prior to the issuance or renewal of a written authorization or permit pursuant to section 448-29, the board shall, in addition to other requirements established by statute or administrative rule, require an on-site inspection of the facility, equipment, and personnel to determine whether the facility and staff requirements pursuant to section 448-29(d) have been met. The inspection to determine whether the facility is adequate and properly equipped may be carried out in a manner that generally follows the guidelines, standards, requirements, and basic principles as described in the most current edition of the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons’ Office Anesthesia Evaluation Manual. The inspection and evaluation shall be carried out by a team of consultants appointed by the board.
(b) Written authorizations and permits subject to section 448-29 shall be issued only to those applicants whose facilities, equipment, and personnel have been deemed adequate pursuant to this section.
