Inconsistently correct systems DON'T EXIST!

Anything that will help enforce (or at least remind the user) of good engineering practises and make our 'simulation'/'characterization' of the system we are designing more complete, will be appreciated.

I am an SQE on a medical device and, while death is not a real probability, a lot of wasted blood could be if we don't design this device so that, while the giving the operator unfettered power, it at least WARNS the operator of an unwise operation/button push.

Therefore, the more info the templates call for, and the more internal checks for consistency/contradictions, the less chance of seeing bugs embedded in the code.
