plot explanation - Why was the surgery pod configured only for men in Prometheus?

In href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1446714/">Prometheus, when Shaw touch the
surgery-pod Vickers warned her not to touch it because it is rare and so expensive, but
i could not understand why the operating pod was made for a male, but the
owner, Meredith Vickers was female.

Why did
she allow an operating pod that even she could not use.
Why was the surgery
pod configured only for men?

Was it meant
for Weyland all along?

And if
it was so expensive, couldn't the creators configure it for men and
women?
