Medical Device Timing

At a modern hospital, it's important that the timing components in medical devices -- which help assure, for instance, that drug dosing occurs at the right time and heart monitors work properly -- are accurate (that is, that something expected to do X at Y time actually does X at Y time). But a recent large study shows that they are often inaccurate, sometimes very inaccurate. There's a technological solution, as this article explains, but most medical devices don't have it, the FDA doesn't insist on it, and, though it's costly.

I have seen a lot of cases of device timing but it happens with medical devices as well. I was not aware about this fact. Thanks for the article linked in this blog.
