| Axis | Finding (rubric anchor) | Value | Source class | Weight | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M1 | Specialist certification of the responsible physician Found, status current; the registered specialty matches what this physician advertises. Starfsleyfaskrá detail record of the named physician: Sérgrein(ar) Bæklunarskurðlækningar (29.08.2002) and Lýtaskurðlækningar (07.02.2007); the clinic presents him as Lýtalæknir on its cosmetic-surgery page. read via crawler [board] |
OFF | 26 | 2026-09-25 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. Named on the cosmetic-surgery page as Lýtalæknir and on his own staff page, which ties him to this clinic. read via crawler [cosmetic] [team] Hann starfar bæði við Læknastofur Akureyrar og Læknastofur Reykjavík. |
SEC | 16 | 2026-09-25 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Matched by name (surname stem and given name or initial; a second identifier where the name is ambiguous). Currently valid Læknir licence (issued 14.03.1995), no expiry date and no restriction flag; matched by full name and specialty — the clinic does not print a licence number. read via crawler [board] Ágúst Birgisson |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-25 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Found with a spelling discrepancy; or the location is registered under the name of the host facility at the same address (a practice inside a hospital or a centre); or the value comes from a mirror or from a directory that shows no status — the profile names the record holder verbatim. Rekstraraðilaskrá CSV export (P7_ADSETUR:Læknastofur Akureyrar) row: Ágúst Birgisson;Læknastofur Reykjavíkur slf.;Læknir;Læknastofur Akureyrar; 600 Akureyri. His Starfsleyfaskrá record lists RA09-2553: Læknastofur Akureyrar, Hafnarstræti 97, 600 Akureyri — trading name and postcode match; the clinic now publishes Glerártorg as its address, so the registered street differs. read via crawler [facility] [board] |
OFF | 10 | 2026-09-25 | |
| M5 | Legal-entity traceability The legal entity and its registration number are published by the clinic and matched in the register. The clinic footer publishes Læknastofur Akureyrar ehf. with Kt. 711005-0720; Fyrirtækjaskrá returns the same entity (E1 Einkahlutafélag, registered 24.10.2005, seat Gleráreyrum 1, 600 Akureyri, ÍSAT 86.22.0 Sérfræðilækningar). read via crawler [rsk] [site] Læknastofur Akureyrar ehf. (7110050720) |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-25 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Partial, without issuers. The company registration number (kennitala) is published in the site footer without naming the issuing register; no physician licence or facility registration number is published. read via crawler [site] Kt. 711005-0720 |
SEC | 10 | 2026-09-25 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty One or two soft superlatives or non-absolute safety promises. One soft superlative about the facilities (two fully equipped operating theatres); no absolute promise about safety or results found on the loaded pages. read via crawler [skurd] eru 2 fullkomnar skurðstofur |
SEC | 12 | 2026-09-25 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Single language front. Last attempt: clinic_site, 25 September 2026 — one language front; no hreflang alternates or language links The clinic site publishes one language front; nothing to compare. |
? | ? | 5 | 2026-09-25 |
| M9 | Patient documents Two or three. Two classes under their own headings: risks (page Áhætta sem fylgir svæfingum, reached from the menu item Áhætta sem fylgir svæfingu) and aftercare (heading Eftir aðgerð - Á vöknun on the operating-theatre page, plus an emergency phone line for the first day after surgery on the pre-operative information sheet). Consent is mentioned only in the text of the health-information form page, whose heading names the health-information form; no revision policy or complaint route found.

What we could not verify
- M8 · Cross-locale consistency — Single language front
These cells score nothing and are not negative findings. A cell on a register that is closed to machine queries is left out of the coverage calculation; the others count against it. Each one names why it is empty; an attempt that did not complete is re-run in the next collection pass. If you can point to a public source, send it.
