- generating a linear device model based on the plurality of medical device relationships;
- receiving simulated coefficient values for each of the plurality of coefficients from a distribution function, for the plurality of medical device relationships;
- generating simulated output distributions for a voltage, a current, a resistance, a torque, a speed, or a force, based on the simulated coefficients and the linear device model;
- comparing the simulated output distributions to a threshold output requirement;
- and
- outputting one of an approval indication or a rejection indication based on comparing the simulated output distributions to the threshold output requirement.
