MA334A — ELECTROMEDICAL EQUIPMENT AND ANALYTICAL INSTRUMENTS
DEFINITIONS AND SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. Scope of this survey

Do not include the following:

This survey covers all companies engaged in the
manufacture of all electromedical equipment, analytical
instruments including component parts, and optical
instruments and lenses, in the United States.

(1) Products manufactured for you by others

2. Figures to be reported

Your figure should include:

Companies with more than one establishment
manufacturing the products covered by this survey are
requested to complete a separate report form for each
location. If you have not received a separate form for
each of your establishments, please call the contact
shown on the report form or write to the U.S. Census
Bureau for additional forms.

(1) X-ray equipment

a. Value of Shipments

b. Columnar structure of report

The figures on value of shipments should include the
physical shipments of all products sold, transferred to
other establishments within your company, or shipped
on consignment, whether for domestic or export sale.
The value represents the net sales price, f.o.b. plant, to
the customer or branch to which the products are
shipped, net of discounts, allowances, freight charges
and returns. Shipments to your own branches should
be assigned the same value as comparable sales to
unaffiliated customers, i.e., the value includes an
appropriate allocation of company overhead and profit.
Products bought and resold without further
manufacture should not be included in shipments. The
quantity of shipments is no longer collected.

When entering your figures on the report, please be
sure to report the information in the correct columns, as
follows:

Shipments should include the following:

Development and/or manufacture of Medical Picture
Archiving and Communications Systems (MED-PACS)
must include:

(2) Imports which are reshipped without further
domestic manufacture

(2) Medical electronic systems and system
components
(See Reference List for complete list of products collected
in this survey.)

Quantity, no longer collected
Column 1 — Value (report shipments in thousands of
dollars. Example: $1,000,000, report as $1,000)
3. Definitions
The product detail for this survey, as shown in the
Reference List is defined according to standard
nomenclature for this industry.

(1) Private brand units as well as your own company
brand units.
(2) Leased machines and equipment – For products
leased or rented by your company, report the
number and estimated value. The estimate should
approximate the value of the products sold outright.
If no such basis is available, you may use the
valuation placed on these items for tax, insurance,
or similar purposes.

Image acquisition, digital archiving and storage,
communication, and video display devices.
Also include:
Components, such as disk drives, displays, signal
converters, output devices, software and associated
communications equipment.
