Since, by your own admission, you nothing about the details here, maybe it would be prudent to dig into the details and to not spread Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD) just because you’ve been bitten while working on circuits where “nearly identical“ components often aren’t.
It’s fair to point out for medical equipment, how critical it is that the proper QA be done, to prevent severe injury and possibly death, but the ad-homonym name calling is unnecessary. In fact, there’s a shelter-in-place order in effect in many places, so engineering is being forced to happen in the open, in non-traditional places, including basements.
Like you said, it will have to certified that it’s up to the standards of the FDA before being used in a hospital by a medical professional, so I’m not sure I even see where you’re coming from. We’re not drinking aquarium cleaner here.
