>I’ve seen nurses make mistakes several times because the equipment is too confusing. Once, I had to page the nurse myself because the IV they thought they set up was not functioning and I was able to discern that from the screen on the IV machine (which said one particular drug was not active) but they had not noticed

This doesn't sound like the equipment's fault.



Technically no, but watching them debug it and configure it made me think it’s too complicated. They basically had to figure out the right sequence of buttons to hit.
