Is there critical success/failure effects in battle medicine action?

According to the rules of success and failure, if it is not written in the talent/action/magic, the successes and critical failures do not occur, they are only considered success and failure.

"If a feat, magic item, spell, or other effect does not list a critical success or critical failure, treat is as an ordinary success or failure instead." CRB446

Since battle medicine is very detailed about what is and is not similar to the treat wound action (DC used, difficulty increase, immunity, hands, actions, effects) the omission left this doubt in the air.
Unless you treat the action that the feat provides like treating wounds, which doesn't seem to be the intent, critical effects shouldn't occur with battle medicine.

Remember "Sometimes a rule could be interpreted multiple ways. If one version is too good to be true, it probably is." CRB444

I need a clarification on this and post here in a hope to be seen for the gods of FAQs/Erratas.

Question. After releasing elemental touch with spell combat (Magus) how I treat this magic? Not a touch of magic, it's personal, but grants touches attacks and can be used with unarmed strike, slam attack and claw attack. However cause damage to anything hold by the hand which contains the energy effect?

The magus will destroy his own sword combining this magic with spellstrike. Nothing in the Spellstrike tells about extend his benefits to others spells with no touch in basic description (range: touch).

Even worse if you read the FAQ:

"Basically, the spellstrike gives the magus more options when it comes to delivering touch spells; it’s not supposed to make it more difficult for the magus to use touch spells."

And

On a related topic, the magus touching his held weapon doesn’t count as “touching anything or anyone” when determining if he discharges the spell.

Elemental touch dont have discharge and not is a touch spell attack like shoking grasp or chill touch, more like a buff.
