FDA approval should at least require key algorithms be disclosed in code form.
I’m thinking specifically about “artificial pancreas” aka “looping” insulin pumps, which automatically adjust how much insulin they give you based on a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) providing blood sugar readings.
My kids use these devices, and I’ve watched their devices dose insulin (a potentially lethal drug) erratically when the CGM data itself occasionally goes haywire.
I wish I could review the algorithm for myself. There’s no excuse for a piece of software which is automatically injecting drugs into my children to be a black box.
