I think it is extremely important that medical devices are open, especially data, to prevent rent-seeking on the people who need them to live. However, if I manufactured, say, an insulin pump, there is no way I would allow it to ship with user-configurable settings in a country as litigious as the US. CPAP seems less risky, but not worth chancing anything. The US market seems to be the primary target for many medical devices, the UK might be receiving CPAPs developed primarily for the US court system.
