When nobody or nothing notices an error, it may turn into patient harm. We show that medical devices ignore many errors, and therefore do not adequately support patient safety. In addition to preventable patient harm, errors may be reported ignoring potential flaws in medical device design, and front line staff may be inappropriately blamed. We present some suggestions to improve reporting and the procurement of hospital equipment. |
