Judge, I do NOT find the FDA site adequate for addressing this problem, nor easy to work with. I did a 53 page medical device report which tracks some actual tests. Not very encouraging. Letters will often start off ... "We are Year 2000 compliant" ... and then when you read thru their list of products ... you find a lot of qualifiers. They are theoretically "Year 2000" compliant, IF you do certain things at certain times to individual devices. It can vary from serial number to serial number, product to product. Sometimes with devices ordered and delivered on the same day ... some will fail ... some won't. This is VERY serious. I'm gonna be speaking on embedded systems at a "Y2K Legal Liability & Risk Avoidance" conference in Washington D.C. in June for company directors & officers, corporate and IT attorneys, tech executives and project managers. Maybe I'll see you there.
