Section 3 — Regulatory & Compliance Framework
All Active Mandates — KyphoLift Supports Compliance Across All Seven
OSHA / DOL
Safe Patient Handling & Mobility
Federal mandate requiring protection from musculoskeletal injuries caused by manual patient handling.
Directly applicable to MRI positioning workflows.
CDC / NIOSH
SPHM Program Standards
NIOSH defines Safe Patient Handling and Mobility best practices for healthcare settings including
imaging. Sets the clinical standard KyphoLift helps facilities meet.
HHS / OCR — E ective 2026
Section 504 — Accessible Diagnostic Equipment
Requires all HHS-funded facilities to provide accessible medical diagnostic equipment. Imaging
departments that cannot position disabled patients are in violation.
U.S. Access Board
MDE Standards — M305.5 Positioning Supports
Federal technical standard for diagnostic equipment used in supine/prone positions. M305.5 specifically
addresses positioning supports — the exact clinical problem KyphoLift solves.
ACR Standard
MRI Practice Parameters & Image Consistency
ACR Practice Parameters establish image consistency and reproducibility standards for MRI. Positioning
instability directly compromises ACR compliance.
VHA Directive
VHA Directive 1611 — SPHM in Imaging
VA-specific mandate explicitly including diagnostic and imaging areas within SPHM scope. Makes non-
manual MRI positioning a compliance requirement across all VA facilities.
Joint Commission · NPG #13
MRI Patient Safety & Environmental Risk Reduction
Joint Commission National Performance Goal #13 (since 2008) requires hospitals to manage MRI
environmental risk reduction — including patient screening and positioning workflows — and to collect data on imaging safety incidents.
MRI-related patient injuries (thermal, projectile, acoustic) are classified as Sentinel Events (“never events”). Positioning failure is a direct
compliance risk under this standard. The AMA has added specific CPT codes for MRI pre-procedure screening activities, underscoring
clinical urgency.
