Group members,

I'm working with a company that manufactures an X-ray source sub-assembly. This product includes the X-Ray source and an electronic interface controller. The intended use is for the customer to incorporate the device into automated laboratory equipment that will be subject to the machinery directive.

This X-ray source includes a motor-driven shutter which is under computer control. The shutter is enclosed within a housing and is not operator accessible.

This company has informed me that one of their German competitors claims that their very similar sub-assembly complies with the MD.

Does the fact that the device includes an internal motor-driven shutter bring it into the scope of the MD? That seems to be a stretch to me.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Carl
