Repairers must relabel instruments, court rules.
A federal appeals court decided that repair companies must be sure that endoscopic instruments they have worked on, especially those they have drastically altered, must be clearly identified as such. In some cases, that could mean that the original manufacturer's name must be removed, or the repairer's name added to the device's label.
