How do you determine if they're "running it correctly"?
The whole point of certification is to require a minimum set of skills/knowledge to do so.

Insert "faster" or "cheaper" as well, but that is my point. There are very clear ways to measure if your medical device is effective.
But again, I think it's morally fine for an uncertified person to run a laboratory as long as they are running it correctly. But the Theranos labs were not being run correctly, and they were lying about the results that their machines could deliver.
