The U.S. Access Board (USAB) recently announced a direct final rule related to its standards for accessible medical diagnostic equipment (MDE) covered by Section 510 of the Rehabilitation Act. This direct final rule by the USAB extends the current rules for another 3 years. While these MDE rules are available to assist with accessibility for MDE, the rules are not yet part of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and are thus not enforceable.
