Medical Device Nonvisual Accessibility Act of 2025 aims to ensure medical devices with digital interfaces are accessible to blind or low-vision.

The Medical Device Nonvisual Accessibility Act of 2025 amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to establish nonvisual accessibility standards for certain medical devices with digital interfaces. These devices, which include blood pressure monitors and sleep apnea machines, must be designed to allow blind or low-vision individuals to access information, engage in interactions, and enjoy services with comparable privacy, independence, and ease of use as those without visual impairments.
