Second this. It is terrifying to know that mission critical, medical grade software runs on a consumer operating system. Military/aerospace systems have numerous requirements and clearly defined practices and ways of developing these systems, often going through various layers of documentation and using specifically designed programming languages(like the Z programming language) to write specifications, which are then re-written into code, but it seems like medical industry has been neglected.

I've been working in Medical for a couple of years... it's because Medical is extremely fault tolerant. They put up with a lot of rubbish that wouldn't be accepted in other industries.

Aeronautical and Automotive are both engineering driven, Medical isn't, it's a big grey area.

You might be surprised to realize that many applications of medical devices are not used for affirmative life support and therefore should not be held to the same standards as aviation.

This application (cath lab activity logging) is not a life-support activity. Product failures of any kind (either due to design error or product defect) represent a diminished capability of diagnosis and treatment. This does not represent a risk of harm to a patient.

That said, some medical device manufacturers treat this aspect of design very seriously and go to great pains to use defeatured and heavily restricted OS and settings.
