Exam room equipment can make a crucial difference. For clinics looking to improve patient access and caregiver safety, accessible healthcare environments are essential.
Last July, the U.S. Access Board, which provides guidance for accessible design and standards for accessible medical diagnostic equipment (MDE), effectively ruled that examination and procedure chairs should be compliant to a low seat height of 17 inches. However, the board says of the adjustable-height examination tables it reviewed, over 75% have a low height of 18-19 inches.
In this podcast, Scott Adams and Midmark Medical’s Associate Marketing Manager, August Boehnlein take a deep dive into the only examination table reviewed that reached a low transfer height below 17 inches- Midmark’s 626 Barrier-Free® Examination Chair.
