Not only that, but for use in a medical context, every component in that
device must be certified for medical use. This means extensive testing
and underwriting. Lots of salaries being paid on that one, Medical has
some extremely strict standards for reliability. Ever notice when you
look at datasheets for electronic components, they have a disclaimer on
most that state they are not intended for use in military and medical
applications. Usually mil-spec has extended requirements for stability
at different environmental and voltages, Medical, too. And in some
cases, they'll need even tighter tolerances on output and stability.
Though, you can buy some mil-spec components they are quite a bit more
expensive. Medical-level screening would probably be even more
expensive. People get a little touchy when lives are at stake.
