Mechanical inspection?

With all the political correctness flying around, I feel some unease at this incident. And I think I've narrowed it down to a simple question:

- Is a complex prosthetic inspected like the rest of the flight controls by a (prosthetic) type-certified orthopedist or mechanic, at regular intervals? If not, why not?
