Furthermore, testing the device\u2019s instructions is also a good idea, especially since the instructions itself may contain faults. These faults may result in the unsafe use of a medical device. When the medical device is released to the public, it doesn\u2019t mean one should stop testing the product. Devices can be refined based on users\u2019 criticism and feedback.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Testing the medical devices\u2019 software is also equally important, as the software can fail to run. When the software fails to run, a run-time error has occurred. In other words, a run-time error occurs when the program has been executed, is running, and fails to continue the complete execution of the program. Programs used for medical devices, such as the IV pump, must be thoroughly tested to eliminate any run-time errors.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interestingly enough, other software programs can confirm that there are no run-time errors in the medical device program. This allows medical software engineers to debug and fix their programs so that the medical device is safe and easy to use.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medical devices that are intended for good ease of use will limit user errors. Negative results are bound to happen because of user error than of other device failure modes.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trial and error in this context refer to the mental decision-making shortcuts we create because of cooperating with our condition.
