RE: FDA-conform validation - any hints?


Jim and Gary,

thanks for your hints. Maybe I'm unnecessarily nervous.

I'm still working on a good definition for "enough"
testing around the intended use, and to what level of
detail the intended use needs to be described. With
your comments, I'm more confidently facing the FDA-
challenge now with what we have. Now I'm curious on
the auditor's feedback - only a few weeks left :-)

Not to forget: Many thanks for the effort to all of you
who make this tool, Cygwin, working. It's not so easy to
make my company give something in return, but one day
I will.

So long,
	Jan.
