I believe verification is important because it makes sure that the device you are creating is exactly as you intended it to be, so that there are no unanticipated problems that may occur later on. By verifying that the device works and is safe, it ensures that it will later be successful on the market. This also keeps the patient safe from failures in the device. Also, by testing your product early on you are saving the company time and money by not hindering the design and transfer process. An improvement would be to do have the verification process happen as soon as possible. That way if there is a problem and a change request needs to be made, it will be easier and quicker to handle. The more time that goes by the more back tracking you will have to do and the changes will be harder to make. Some more improvements would be to spend more time on the planning phase for the verification test. This will ensure that you are effectively testing for all specs in the model, that the test are run smoothly and at a quick pace, and that testing and results can be quickly put into a verification document to receive approval.
