I think new technology that has huge potential should not be delayed in reaching to the people who really need it. But once the product reaches them, its stability, durability and reliability take center stage. There maybe patients who appreciate the mind blowing technology the device uses, but all of the patients care about how well they can rely on its ability to help them, how long can it deliver the same results and if the overall product and its durability is worth their money. Quality control ensures all the above conditions are met.

Sometimes quality control might seem to be slowing the whole process down due to its farsightedness about vague possible device failure scenarios. I think taking sensible measures to prevent the slight occurrences of these scenarios is also important to ensure the safety and ultimate commercial success of the product. One can think of it this way: the more time, resources and cycles of quality check a product undergoes, the more reliable each of its feature is and the more confidence it builds in the customers.
