          ITEM 5.   OTHER EVENTS

                    As previously reported, on July 25, 1996,
          pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger
          Agreement"), dated as of May 12, 1996, by and among
          Getinge Industrier AB ("Parent"), Getinge Acquisition
          Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the
          "Purchaser" and, together with Parent, "Getinge"), and
          MDT Corporation (the "Company"), Getinge acquired
          6,278,629 shares (the "Shares") of the Company's common
          stock, par value $1.25 per share (the "Common Stock") at
          the price of  $5.50 per share in cash  (the
          "Acquisition").   The Acquisition constituted a change of
          control of the Company. 

                    On July 29, 1996, pursuant to the Merger
          Agreement, the Purchaser was merged with and into the
          Company.  As a result of the Merger, the Company is an
          indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of  Parent.  In the
          Merger, holders of Common Stock other than Purchaser
          received, in exchange for their shares, the right to
          receive $5.50 in cash per share without interest.  Under
          applicable Delaware law, holders of shares of Common
          Stock other than Purchaser also have the right to dissent
          from the Merger and to seek an appraisal of and be paid
          the fair cash value of their shares. 

                    The Merger  was financed entirely through
          borrowings made under two credit facilities entered into
          between the Parent and SE Banken on May 10, 1996 for
          $40,000,000 and $50,000,000, respectively.  The terms of
          the credit facilities are filed herewith as Exhibits 99.2
          and 99.3  and are incorporated herein by reference.

                    Subsequent to the Merger, the membership of the
          Board of Directors of the Company was reconstituted to
          consist of the following members: Carl Bennet, Chairman,
          Harald Castler, Ulf Grunander, Lars-Peter Harbing, Ingmar
          Johansson, and Johan Malmqvist.  Also subsequent to the
          Merger,  Lars-Peter Harbing was appointed  President of
          the Company.  The press release issued by Getinge on July
          29, 1996 announcing the Acquisition and subsequent events
          is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated
          herein by reference.
