Talk:Ralph Nader

From BMET Wiki

When I entered this field in 1979, we tested most equipment with a connection to the patient monthly. A massive system of safety inspections often consumed more of our time than repair work. By the mid nineteen eighties, the improvement of equipment design, the data from all that testing, and the low incidence of shocks saw a change in the testing requirements. By the nineteen nineties, the standards had been reduced to annual testing for most devices, and many are tested once when received, and after repair work is completed.
