ADA Compliance is Coming. Will Your Facility Be Ready?

At seca, accessibility and patient safety are core to how we design. With new ADA Medical Diagnostic Equipment (MDE) standards taking effect in August 2026, healthcare organizations must begin preparing now to ensure their diagnostic equipment meets federal accessibility requirements.

As the healthcare landscape evolves, so does seca. The seca XLine Hold represents our latest advancement a purpose built, ADA-compliant bariatric wheelchair scale that meets the highest standards for accessibility, safety, and clinical performance. It’s the scale that helps facilities take a confident first step toward compliance without compromise.

Understanding the New ADA Medical Equipment Standards

In July 2024, the U.S. Access Board published new technical standards for medical diagnostic equipment (MDE) – including scales, exam chairs, and imaging devices – to ensure all patients can safely and independently access care.

  • Effective October 8, 2024: All diagnostic equipment
    acquired by state and local government entities must
    be accessible.
  • Enforcement Begins: August 9, 2026.
  • Requirement: Facilities must have at least 10% of
    their diagnostic medical equipment ADA-compliant.
  • Purpose: Guarantee safe, equitable access to
    diagnostic care for individuals with disabilities.

ADA & ABA Compliance for Gov't Customers

 New Medical Diagnostic Equipment (MDE) accessibility standards are now in effect for state, local, and federal healthcare facilities—including the VA. While the ADA governs state and local entities, VA facilities follow the Architectural Barriers Act (ABA), which closely aligns with ADA requirements.

For VA organizations, staying ahead of these changes is essential. At seca, accessibility and veteran safety are at the core of every design. With the August 2026 MDE compliance deadline approaching, now is the time to ensure your diagnostic equipment meets—and exceeds—federal accessibility standards.
