vii. Ancillary equipment

Ancillary equipment is equipment used with other medical equipment, such as examination tables or chairs or MRIs, and adapted to or adjustable for use by individuals with disabilities. Ancillary equipment includes items such as positioning straps or cushions; protective padding; adjustable, padded leg supports for gynecological examinations; and additional supports, rails, or bars needed to ensure the safety and comfort of patients with disabilities. Sliding boards or sheets and gait belts may assist in transfers of patients with disabilities to and from examination or treatment tables and chairs. Individuals with mobility disabilities may require air mattresses and cushions, stools, or other pressure relief equipment to aid in the avoidance or treatment of pressure sores. Accessible call buttons and telephones can address communication difficulties for patients with mobility or other types of disabilities.
