As our classmates have previously mentioned lapses in the design control benefit no one and are just dangerous for the consumers. As a company manufacturing and distributing novice medical devices coming in contact with human subjects must guarantee safety. If companies start taking lapses in their design controls it is going to decrease the safety and authenticity of the product. It is likely most of the products will function perfectly and cause not dilemma. However it just takes one slip up to discredit the reliability of a company.

As the lecture mentioned even if there was no formal design controls there still would be a standard all companies followed when putting out new product designs.
