Analysis
NAICS 334510 is the 2022 national industry for electromedical and electrotherapeutic apparatus manufacturing, part of 33451 (Navigational, Measuring, Electromedical, and Control Instruments Manufacturing). Census lists 55 example activities under it in the official index.
County Business Patterns counts 892 US establishments in this code in 2023, employing 94,361 people at an average annual payroll of $109,438 per employee (88th percentile of national industries). 30% of the establishments have fewer than five employees, which is close to the national mix.
Its index entries, the activities Census uses to assign businesses to this code, include arc lamp units, electrotherapeutic (except infrared…, audiological equipment, electromedical, manufacturing, automated blood and body fluid analyzers (except… and bronchoscopes, electromedical, manufacturing, among 55 in all.
Its goods appear in 25 statistical lines of the US tariff schedule, mostly under headings 9018 (instruments and appliances used in medical, surgical…), 9021 (orthopedic appliances, including crutches, surgical belts…) and 8543 (electrical machines and apparatus, having individual…). That link is how import data is matched to domestic producers, for example in trade-remedy cases.
For example, manufacturing medical irradiation apparatus are classified in 334517 (Irradiation Apparatus Manufacturing) instead.
Census lists 2 related activities that belong elsewhere, most often in 334517 and 33911. Businesses that do several things are classified by their primary activity, the one that generates the most value, so check those boundaries before settling on this code.
Official definition
