No chance in meaning that it guarantees that the kit is actually serviceable and safe, and that a service history has been maintained and available for reference or review, I suppose?
I see lots of high-end surgical kit being trundled around in the back of vans by eager (eager for their commission, that is) young sales reps. I see kit proudly displaying "electrical safety" stickers from many different hospitals ... Apart from that, does anybody technical ever run their eye over such vulnerable equipment, I wonder?
