               Getinge Acquisition Corp. (the "Purchaser"), a Delaware
     corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Getinge Industrier
     AB ("Parent"), and Parent hereby amend their Tender Offer State-
     ment on Schedule 14D-1 (the "Schedule 14D-1") relating to the
     Purchaser's Offer to purchase all outstanding common shares, par
     value $1.25 per share, including the associated common stock
     purchase rights (collectively, the "Shares"), of MDT Corporation,
     a Delaware corporation (the "Company").  Capitalized terms used
     herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set
     forth in the Schedule 14D-1 or the Offer to Purchase filed as an
     exhibit thereto.    

     ITEM 8.  PERSONS RETAINED, EMPLOYED OR TO BE COMPENSATED

          The second sentence of the second paragraph of Section 16 of
     the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended to read in its entirety
     as follows:

                Getinge has agreed to pay Rothschild Inc. for its
     services an initial advisory fee $70,000, an additional $280,000
     upon the announcement of the execution of the Merger Agreement,
     and a further $470,00 upon completion of the Merger.  

     ITEM 10. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

          On July 1, 1996, the Parent announced that it and Purchaser
     extended the Offer until 5:00 p.m. on July 12, 1996, unless
     further extended.  The Offer was scheduled to expire at 5:00 pm,
     New York City time, on Friday June 28, 1996.

          During the time period from June 29, 1996, through July 1, 1996, 
     Parent held discussions with Heartland Advisors Inc. ("Heartland"), 
     the holder of approximately 19.8% of the Shares, in an effort to 
     reach an agreement with Heartland to tender its Shares.  Heartland 
     has previously made a number of public statements opposing the Offer.
     However, no agreement was reached and the discussions with Heartland 
     did not lead to any modifications of the terms of the Offer.
