medical X-ray equipment etc. of which are the same or
similar of safety structure, main parts( assemblies ), and
safety critical components as the same series products
may be defined as one application unit.
30. Principle of Defining Application Units
2.for the passive medical electrical equipment,
such as Hollow fiber dialyzer etc., if the
materials and the processing of the products
are the same as well as the similar structure,
may be defined as one application unit.
