Specifically, anyone with a device with Cobalt in it should definitely watch this.
Can you be more specific about medical devices? Imaging devices like MR, CT, etc. need to be FDA cleared to be sold in the US. It's a long, expensive process. Yes... many physicians prescribe things "off label," but that isn't on a whim. I'm curious what medical devices you are referring to.
