I 101 percent agree with you Geoff. But I do need a very strong(and understandable) argument instead of a confrontational approach in order that my refusal to take in such extra reponsibility will be heard/considered.
When and if ever the BME agrees, each and every instrument will be given a specific code in the system. Once that code is approved it will be almost impossible to "remove" from the BME. That is why at this point I am fighting hard to refuse. Not to mention the time we will be spending checking and evaluating different types when offers come. Then when the order arrives to check each and every instrument. What a big mess I can imagine.
