How do the open source medical equiptment projects jibe with all of the FDA regulations?
I've always wanted to start an open source ultrasound project but I figured there would be too many hurdles.
- blackguardx 17y agoDon't target medical markets. Target weld inspection.
- TwoSheds 17y agoExactly. I work in medical hw/sw and I can tell you the amount of bureucracy is insane and everything is orders of magnitude harder than any non-regulated business. Open Source itself is not really a problem, we use a lot of it (os, libs, etc.).
- tocomment 17y agoBut those projects listed OpenEEG, the one for anesthesia, etc are targeted as medical devices (I think). Are they just operating under the radar?
- blackguardx 17y agoThey are targeted towards hobbyists...
