An Engineer is designing a medical system. This medical system administers medication to an intravenous drip at a specified amount and for a specified period of time. You are the engineer on the design of the control system for this medication system.


You have added many safety screens to the user interface in order to make sure that the doctor or nurse has appropriately set the dosage. You also add a safety feature in which the device stops working after a certain period of time to make sure that it has been calibrated in order to not deliver the incorrect dosage. Your manager puts a lot of pressure on you to remove the extra safety time-out. He believes that the company could sell more units if the safety lock out wasn't installed in the unit; the unit would cost less, and the users won't have to confront a possibly annoying time out.

Answer the Following questions, based on the code of ethics:-
1. What do you do? 
2. Do you remove the lockout and simply advise in the documentation to calibrate the unit periodically? 
3. What if you know that the unit will drift out of calibration eventually?
4. What happens if you leave the safety lock out in the device, and it stops working when it is supposed to be delivering medication to a patient?
