We prioritize ADA compliance to ensure our healthcare equipment meets the highest standards. As the leading medical scale manufacturer in the U.S., we are dedicated to providing guidance and support as market requirements evolve.

United States Accesss Board

In July 2024, the U.S. Access Board published new standards for medical diagnostic equipment (MDE) to ensure accessibility for all patients. Healthcare providers must comply with these standards within specified timelines:

  • Starting October 8, 2024: All medical device equipment acquired by state and local government entities must be accessible.
  • By August 9, 2026: Facilities must have at least 10% of their equipment, but no fewer than one unit, meeting the standards (20% for mobility rehabilitation facilities).
