Classification of medical filters: disposable dialyzers and microbarriers classed as filters under filtering machinery, not as renal dialysis equipment. The Disposable Sterilized Dialyzer and the Microbarrier, though used in blood purifying systems, are filtering elements that in themselves constitute articles of the heading for filtering or purifying machinery for liquids; therefore, by application of GRI 1 and the Chapter Note on parts and accessories, they are classifiable as filters in the appropriate heading for filtering apparatus and not as complete renal dialysis equipment.
