The Detecto 7150-AC is a USA-made, NTEP-certified ADA-Compliant Wheelchair Scale built for healthcare facilities preparing for the August 9, 2026 ADA enforcement deadline. With a 1,000 lb capacity, a 40″ x 36″ low-profile platform, and 1:8 shallow-angle dual ramps, it delivers safe roll-on weighing for patients in wheelchairs, walkers, or seated assistance — while keeping NTEP-certified medical dosage accuracy across 5,000 divisions.
ADA Compliance Deadline – August 9, 2026:
Under the updated ADA Title II Medical Diagnostic Equipment (MDE) standards, healthcare facilities must have at least 10% of patient weighing equipment ADA-compliant (20% for mobility and rehab facilities) by August 9, 2026. Facilities that fail to comply face Title II enforcement, civil penalties, and patient access lawsuits. The 7150-AC meets the full MDE Chapter 3 wheelchair scale requirements: 1:8 ramp slope, integrated side guide rails, low 2.2″ platform threshold, and 1,000 lb capacity for bariatric access.
