All three of your numbers are purely hypothetical and are likely out by one or two orders of magnitude.
My point is that people saying that it is overpriced don't understand the input costs of medical devices.

That's two numbers relating to the cost of production. The second is the cost that a 3D printer doing one off prints actually costs (it's in the article, as a rough estimate.) The first number is a deliberately chosen "insane" example figure to show the absurdity of an $11,000 part. A medical test n license for a single part of a device does not cost anything like $100M.
Now as to the market for these things - the third number. Nearly 8,000 people have died so far. I can't be arsed to extrapolate further but I recall reading that these are single use devices.
And the fact that they are threatening to sue for something they couldn't sell is disgusting.
