Question 2

Dr. Aris is developing a control module for an Automated Medication Dispenser (AMD) to be deployed in pediatric intensive care units. The specifications are:

  • Medical staff scan a patient's RFID wristband to retrieve prescribed drug dosages.
  • The system enforces strict volumetric limits calculated dynamically based on the patient's recorded body mass.
  • Once a safe dose is confirmed, the mechanical dispenser compartment unlocks and logs the administration details to a secure database.

Explain why software like the AMD control module must undergo rigorous testing before being deployed in a clinical environment.
