http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#No-IncidentNo-StandardSafetyConcernGoodFaithExternalReportingThresholdObligation
Case context
No incidents had been reported and no specific regulatory standard governed the relief valve placement, yet Engineer A's professional judgment identified a credible risk to infants, which he determined warranted external reporting if MedTech failed to act.
Compliance status
met
Confidence
0.85
Importance
high
Obligated party
Engineer A
Obligation statement
Engineer A was obligated to recognize that his good-faith professional judgment that the relief valve was incorrectly placed — even without confirmed incidents or applicable regulatory standards — was sufficient to trigger the obligation to report to a federal regulatory agency if internal escalation failed.
Temporal scope
Upon re-escalation to the manager after learning of month-long inaction
Source Evidence
Source text
although no incidents have been reported
Text references
although no incidents have been reported
although not an expert on respirators, Engineer A determines that a relief valve... may have been incorrectly placed so that under certain circumstances, an infant could potentially experience dangerously high pressure levels
if prompt measures are not taken to correct the problem, he will be compelled to report the matter to an appropriate federal regulatory agency
