This is if the GP tests the demo on a patient and the system results don't match their diagnoses, this could really be a problem as a wrong diagnosis would not only make the GP aware that the build quality of the system is poor, but also that the final product would not be of the best quality. Which could also harm the company's image.

Conclusion After meeting Sarah, I would convey the message to the team about the current situation and discussion with Sarah and motivate my team to overcome the conflict and work on the given projects.
