Recommendations on Standards for the Design of Medical Diagnostic Equipment for Adults with Disabilities, Advisory Committee Final Report
3.3.3 Presentations about MDE Types
Committee members representing two stakeholder groups – manufacturers of imaging equipment and examination tables and chairs – requested the opportunity to make presentations before the Committee. The imaging presentation occurred at the third meeting and the presentations about examination tables and chairs at the fourth meeting (Table 3.3.3). Both sets of presentations highlighted technological considerations specific to these broad categories of MDE. This material is described further in Section 4.3 (imaging equipment) and Section 4.1 (tables and chairs). Committee members had ample time to ask questions and discuss the implications of the issues presented for making the accessibility standard recommendations.
