Brand names should generally not be used unless there is something specific about a particular brand that is important. An example of when a brand name is acceptable is an article or case that describes a specific implantable medical device with particular imaging features (see medical device article structure).
For example, a particular programmable CSF shunt valve where the appearance of a normal valve and the interpretation of the pressure setting are brand-specific.
