Accessibility Statement
Healthcare information should be reachable by everyone who needs it, including people using screen readers, magnification, keyboard-only navigation or voice control. This page sets out what we have done, what we know is imperfect, and how to tell us when we get it wrong.

Standard we work to
JS Medical Equipment aims to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. These guidelines are the reference point used by the US Department of Justice for websites subject to the Americans with Disabilities Act, and by Section 508 for federal procurement.
Conformance is assessed against the site as published at https://jsmedicalequip.com, and is reviewed whenever a substantial change is made to page templates, forms or navigation.
Measures in place
- Semantic landmarks (banner, navigation, main, contentinfo) on every page so assistive technology can skip directly to content.
- A visible "Skip to main content" link as the first focusable element on every page.
- All interactive controls reachable and operable by keyboard, with a high-contrast focus indicator that is never suppressed.
- Text and interface colours checked against WCAG AA contrast ratios; brand blue is not used for small text on dark backgrounds.
- Every form field bound to a visible label, with required fields marked in text as well as colour, and errors described in words.
- Descriptive alternative text on informational images; decorative icons marked aria-hidden so they are not announced.
- Data tables use header cells with scope attributes and a caption describing the table content.
- Motion and parallax effects respect the operating system "reduce motion" preference.
- Page structure uses a single H1 with a logical heading order beneath it, so heading navigation works as expected.
- The site reflows to a single column at 320 CSS pixels wide and supports 200% text zoom without loss of content.
Known limitations
We would rather publish these than claim a clean sheet:
Third-party security check
Form submissions are protected by Google reCAPTCHA, which renders in a frame we do not control. An audio challenge alternative is provided by Google. If the check prevents you from submitting a form, call us on +1 (213) 290-7967 and we will take the details directly.
Manufacturer documentation
Specification sheets and manuals produced by equipment manufacturers are supplied to us as PDFs and are not always tagged for screen readers. Ask us and we will provide the content in an accessible format at no charge.
Embedded map
The location map on our contact page is a third-party embed with limited keyboard support. The full street address and directions are always available as text alongside it.
Assessment approach
Pages are checked with automated tooling on every template change, and reviewed manually using keyboard-only navigation and a screen reader. Automated tools catch roughly a third of real barriers, so manual review is the part we treat as authoritative.
