I think you are a bit confused about the position the country is in right now.
Regulations and regulators can and will be damned in an emergency.
Of course, all reasonable precautions should be taken when producing medical equipment. But if someone needs a ventilator, they are going to die without it. It doesn't matter that there is a small chance that complications arise or some flaw in the ventilator causes it not to work correctly. They would have died without the ventilator in nearly 100% of cases.
Like many regulations right now, they will be temporarily suspended within reason.
