Overview
This HTS classification, 9018.19.95.30, specifically covers apparatus designed for measuring basal metabolism and blood pressure. These devices are utilized in medical settings to assess a patient's metabolic rate at rest and monitor their arterial blood pressure. This can include a range of equipment, from dedicated basal metabolic rate analyzers to integrated systems that perform both functions.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 9018.19.95.35 encompasses electroencephalographs (EEG) and electromyographs (EMG), which focus on electrical activity in the brain and muscles, respectively. The sibling category 9018.19.95.50 covers a broader range of "other apparatus" within electro-diagnostic equipment that do not fall into more specific subheadings. Therefore, 9018.19.95.30 is precisely delineated for basal metabolism and blood pressure measurement devices.
As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Classification within 9018.19.95.30 depends on the primary function of the apparatus. If a device primarily measures basal metabolism and blood pressure, it will be classified here. Any accessories or parts specifically for these basal metabolism and blood pressure apparatus would fall under 9018.19.95.60.
