ADA Compliant Wheelchair Scale
Detecto designed the 7150-AC to meet the U.S. Access Board Medical Diagnostic Equipment (MDE) standards for wheelchair scales. It has a 40" platform length, integrated edge protection and 1:8 shallow-angle ramps. Compliance is stated by the manufacturer; the 7150-AC is not third-party certified.
U.S. Access Board MDE standards: key deadlines
- New equipment bought since July 8, 2024 (HHS-funded providers) or October 8, 2024 (state and local governments) must meet the standards until the facility reaches its required share.
- By July 8, 2026 (HHS) and August 9, 2026 (DOJ), each facility needs at least one accessible exam table or chair and one accessible weight scale.
- Ongoing, at least 10% of each type of equipment, and no fewer than one unit, must be accessible (20% for mobility-focused rehabilitation facilities).
