How do I find a PCB schematics for a device?

We are new brand of medical device. We are doing a device development recently. How can we find PCB schematics for reference?

Schematics don’t do you much good on today’s high-tech electronics. Most high-tech electronics nowadays use custom chips or FPGAs so a schematic that shows all the signals going in and out of a magic proprietary chip won’t do you any good.

A lot of lower-tech components that perhaps use discrete parts, relays, discrete resistors, etc. do have schematics on the inside of the case or available online.

What should we look for on PCB samples?

I am a purchase executive. And I have received the PCB samples from supplier. What do usually look for on the samples? What factors should I check?

Does anyone know a standard term for a PCBA that has been through test?

We attach much importance to each product quality, because we think this is a basic way to get good reputation in the retail market. Our product is outsourced, so what is a standard term for a PCBA that has been through test?

What’s the minimum distance from TQFP to chip cap on PCB assembly?

I want to put decoupling caps (0603) as close as possible to TQFP-48-7×7. So PCB/assembly wise how close I can put them (pad to pad, component to component)?
Does the ‘court yard’ need to be exactly square, or is it ok to place mentioned caps closer to TQFP in the corners where the TQFP pins leave kind of ‘free space’?
