- Narkov 7y agoAre you comparing a can of Coke to a medical device? It's surprising that I need to say this but the economies of scale are completely different.
- jacquesm 7y agoI've seen up close how medical devices are made. I've also been in a softdrink bottling plant. Based on those experiences I think your chances of acquiring some disease from a softdrink vs acquiring one from a medical device are about equal.
