By way of slashdot

https://securityledger.com/2013/09/fda-says-some-medical-apps-a-kind-of-medical-device/

Not all, but ones intended to affect or control disease or implanted devices

This is probably a good idea, as this is the direction we are heading and new stuff tends to be half baked.

    Software used in or with medical devices must go through V&V (Verification and Validation) testing. Software used for the production or testing of medical devices also needs to be validated.

    OT but FDA (Failure, Deception, Abuse) is an entertaining alarmist/conspiracy book about the FDA's numerous "allegations of impropriety". Good writin' with confidence-inspirin' exclamation marks a-plenty !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This is really depressing news. In fact, I'm so depressed about this, I think I'd better consult my psychiatric app.

    PsyApp: Yes, ElectricAye? How can I help you today?

    ElectricAye: Doctor, I'm really bummed out. Braino told me my medical apps might need V&V.

    PsyApp: Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

    ElectricAye: Oh, it's a really bad thing... for me, anyway. That's why I'm so depressed. And that's why I need your help today to get through this terrible time.

    PsyApp: Your mother was a staple remover.

    ElectricAye: Uh... I'm sorry, uh... what did you say?

    PsyApp: You seem to be depressed. Is that true?

    ElectricAye: Uh... yeah.

    PsyApp: I suggest you buy a pint-sized gallon of Erco-Oil and drink half a bottle tonight and half a bottom tomorrow morning.

    ElectricAye: Erco? Did you say Erco... oil?

    PsyApp: Snake-free. 10% Rhino Horn, 90% Little Dragon. Made in China. Free ship!

    ElectricAye: Hey, wait a second....
