Pick up to three tables. Rows that differ are highlighted.
Decode these model numbers
Most of the confusion between similar tables comes down to a few digits.
UMF FusionONE and FusionFREEDOM
Both use the same numbers. Add -ACCESS and you get the 17″ FusionFREEDOM.
| 3001 | Manual back, no stirrups |
| 3002 | Manual back, stirrups |
| 3003 | Manual back, stirrups, pelvic tilt, drawer warmer, outlet |
| 3502 / 3503 | Powered-back versions of the 3002 and 3003 |
| -500-300 | Adds the OneTouch WheelBase to a FusionONE. WheelBase models have the front drawer only. |
| -ACCESS | FusionFREEDOM: 17–33″ and 450 lb, versus 19–32″ and 500 lb. WheelBase versions end in -450-300-ACCESS. Pelvic-tilt and WheelBase versions have the front drawer only. |
UMF 4040 and LibertyPRO
The last digits step up the equipment.
| 4040-650-100 | Power100+: power height and back, stirrups, pelvic tilt |
| 4040-650-200 | Power200+: adds a hand control with memory positions and an outlet |

| -100 / -200 / -300 | Base; adds hand remote, side drawer and outlets; adds WheelBase and drawer warmer |
Midmark Ritter
The first number is the chair. The suffix is how it's equipped.
| 228 / 229 | 17″ low height. 228 has a manual back, 229 a powered back. |

Tax breaks
Disabled Access Credit
Practices with 30 or fewer employees, or $1 million or less in revenue, can take half of eligible accessibility spending over $250 off their tax bill, up to $5,000 a year (IRS Form 8826). An accessible table and its rails can qualify.
Deduct it this year
Most practices can deduct the full price of qualifying equipment in the year it goes into service. The 2026 limit is $2,560,000. The same dollars can't count toward both the credit and the deduction.

Popular power exam table comparisons
Midmark 224 vs 225Same 18″ chair. The 225's backrest is powered; the 224's moves by hand.
Same chair, different backrest. The 225 has a powered backrest; the 224's gas-spring backrest is moved by hand. Both lower to 18″, rise to 37″ and carry 500 lb. The 225 always includes the drawer heater, pelvic tilt and receptacles. The 224 also comes as a basic 224-001 without stirrups, pelvic tilt, drawer heater or receptacles. In September 2026 Midmark introduced the 17″ Ritter 228 (manual back) and 229 (powered back) as their successors.
UMF 3002 vs 3002-ACCESSThe -ACCESS version (FusionFREEDOM) lowers to 17″ instead of 19″ and takes ADA-compliant rails. It's rated 450 lb instead of 500 lb.
The -ACCESS suffix is UMF's FusionFREEDOM: the FusionONE platform and model numbering, rebuilt for the 2024 17″ standard. It lowers to 17″ instead of 19″, rises to 33″ instead of 32″, is rated 450 lb instead of 500 lb, and takes UMF's ADA-compliant TruComfort rails (587 or 588). Choose -ACCESS if this is your accessible table; the plain 3002 suits general exams and patients up to 500 lb. Storage differs too: on the FusionONE only the WheelBase models lose the side drawer, while on the FusionFREEDOM both the WheelBase and pelvic-tilt models do.
Midmark 224 vs 228The 228 replaced the 224. It lowers to 17″ instead of 18″.
The 228 is the 224's successor: same 37″ high height, 500 lb capacity and manual backrest, but it lowers to 17″ instead of 18″, meeting the 2024 standard. Midmark lists the 228 as compatible with patient lifts.
Midmark 225 vs 229The 229 replaced the 225. It lowers to 17″ instead of 18″.
The 229 is the 225's successor: same powered backrest, 37″ high height and 500 lb capacity, but it lowers to 17″ instead of 18″, meeting the 2024 standard. Midmark lists the 229 as compatible with patient lifts.
Midmark 228 vs 229Same 17″ chair. The 229's backrest is powered; the 228's is manual.
Identical 17″ chairs except for the backrest: the 229 is powered, the 228 is manual. The 228 also comes as a base model without stirrups, pelvic tilt, drawer heater or receptacles (228-001); both offer the Clean Assist roller base on the -003.
UMF FusionFREEDOM vs Midmark 228Both reach 17″. The 228 rises higher and carries more; the FusionFREEDOM offers a powered back and a 3-year warranty.
Both meet the 2024 17″ standard and both take compliant transfer rails. The Midmark 228 rises higher (37″ vs 33″), carries 500 lb versus 450 lb, and Midmark lists it as compatible with patient lifts. The UMF FusionFREEDOM offers a powered back (3502 and 3503-ACCESS), a reversible side drawer (not on pelvic-tilt or WheelBase models) and a 3-year warranty.
UMF FusionONE 3002 vs Midmark 224The 224 goes a little lower and much higher. The 3002 adds a side drawer and a longer warranty.
The Midmark lowers a little further (18″ vs 19″) and rises much higher (37″ vs 32″), which matters for clinicians who examine standing. Both carry 500 lb and both sit inside today's 17–19″ enforcement range. The UMF FusionONE adds a reversible side drawer (not on WheelBase models), offers a powered back on the 3502 and 3503 and carries a 3-year warranty (the 224 has 1 year). The 224-002 and -003 add receptacles, a heated drawer and pelvic tilt, and Midmark's Patient Support Rails are available as an accessory. Midmark introduced the 17″ Ritter 228 as the 224's successor in September 2026.
Midmark 229 vs 626The 626 lowers to 15.5″, carries 650 lb and offers a built-in scale.
Both meet the 2024 17″ standard with a powered back. The 626 goes lower (15.5″), carries 650 lb instead of 500 lb, includes the Clean Assist roller system on every model, and offers a built-in digital scale, heated upholstery and a 32″-wide top.
What makes a power exam table ADA compliant
The federal standard (36 CFR Part 1195) has six requirements. A table needs all of them.
Low transfer height
Lowers to wheelchair-seat height. HHS and DOJ enforce 17–19″ today; the 2024 standard says 17″. Tables that reach 17″: UMF FusionFREEDOM and LibertyPRO, Midmark 228, 229 and 626.
Transfer surface
A seat at least 21″ wide and 17″ deep that patients can reach from two sides. Every UMF and Midmark table here has a 28″-wide top.
Transfer supports
Grab rails for the transfer, usually sold separately: UMF TruComfort 587 or 588, or Midmark Patient Support Rails.
Leg supports
Stirrups alone don't count. Add knee crutches such as UMF Bierhoff or Midmark Articulating Knee Crutches.
Patient-lift clearance
At least 6″ of room under the base for a portable floor lift. Midmark lists the 228, 229 and 626 as compatible; ask us about other models.
Range of positions
A high transfer position at 25″, with at least four stops between low and high. Power lifts cover this.
Who has to comply, and by when
| Who | New equipment you buy or lease must be accessible | At least one accessible exam table and scale |
|---|---|---|
| Providers that receive HHS fundingSection 504 · 45 CFR 84.92 | Since Jul 8, 2024 | Since Jul 8, 2026 Now required |
| State and local government facilitiesADA Title II · DOJ rule, Aug 2024 | Since Oct 8, 2024 | Since Aug 9, 2026 Now required |
- You don't have to replace every table. New purchases must be accessible until 10% of each equipment type is (20% at rehab and physical therapy facilities).
- Most practices are covered. HHS estimates about 92% of doctors' offices and all hospitals receive its funding, including Medicare and Medicaid.
What happens if you're not compliant
-
A patient complains
To HHS's Office for Civil Rights, or to DOJ for government facilities.
-
A corrective plan
Buy accessible equipment, train staff and report back, often for one to two years.
-
Funding at risk
If a provider won't fix it, HHS can suspend or end its federal funding.
-
Lawsuits
Patients can also sue directly.

Common questions
Does a table that lowers to 18″ or 19″ still count?
Yes, under current HHS and DOJ enforcement, which accepts a low height of 17–19″. The 2024 Access Board update lowered the standard to 17″. Neither agency has adopted that change yet, though DOJ has said it will consider doing so in a future rule. For a new purchase, a 17″ table covers you either way. Midmark itself suggests replacing a 224 or 225 with a 228 or 229 to prepare for that change.
Is the table compliant straight out of the box?
Usually not entirely. On most chairs the transfer rails, and leg supports if you use stirrups, are separate accessories. UMF and Midmark both say to order their compliant rails with the chair. We'll include them on your quote.
Do I need an accessible scale too?
If you weigh patients, yes. Both rules require at least one accessible weight scale in addition to the exam table. See our ADA wheelchair scales.
Can the Midmark 626's built-in scale be my accessible scale?
It weighs patients who can transfer onto the chair. Patients who can't transfer still need to be weighed, so most practices add a roll-on wheelchair scale. Check with your compliance advisor before counting a chair scale as your accessible scale.
Is there a tax credit?
Yes, for small practices. Businesses with 30 or fewer employees or $1 million or less in revenue can claim the federal Disabled Access Credit: half of eligible spending over $250, up to $5,000 a year. Buying accessible equipment counts. Read our tax credit overview and confirm with your tax advisor.
