Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the module is presented as an integral part of a medical diagnostic apparatus
Medical devices of heading 90.18 may include lighting parts if they are essential to the device's function, but this requires the module to be imported with the device.
If used in a theatrical medical demonstration setting
Unlikely, but this sibling item covers LED spotlights for theatrical use, which does not apply to standard medical monitors.
