Charles from FDA called me and he and I had hour and half long
conversation. After that he sent this letter.
I am a lead engineer by profession. Background in electronics & communications engg, India. I have
masters degree in computer science from Cleveland state and post graduate management-economics
from India & system design from MIT(I haven't completed MIT course). I have extensive work experience
for designing and developing products and services for over 8 years now. I have worked on Genome
sequencing InVitro as well.
My point was:: Fixing defects are very early stage, doing proper design at the beginning/early stage is
better, because doing the same LATER ON..cost, time, efforts increase exponentially higher and puts lots
of consequences and ripple effects on the team, company, customers and stake holders.

There were issues with product quality itself. Product Insite Exc was aging and dying with
almost disaster level situation (60000 medical devices communicate to this product/system.
) There were 2000-600 Defects in connectivity platform in production and some were
unresolved for almost ten years. I found out security issues /HIPPA issues.
Insite Exc(Insite Express Connect) product does not have a proper logging/audit trail/reporting available in
production environment. I confirmed it with Mike Walls.
HIPPA 164.312(b) Technical safeguards Standard: Audit controls Audit controls refer to the capability to
record and examine system activity.
And it's replacement project RSVP with GE intelligent platforms; failed after two years.The
previous connectivity model Insite Exc have performance and maintainability , quality,
security issues. This new connectivity model for the connectivity platforms by retaining
the existing agents at device side while upgrading the back office infrastructure.
When it occurred that "why we are still shipping defective InsiteExc product ; David Mehring manager replied
during a group meeting that "Connectivity is better than InsiteExc product" (means at least medical device will
have connectivity).
Customers have complained several times as InsiteExc product was not working and unavailable for more
than 23 times in a year.
Just thought to share this info. It shows recent activities ....My linkedin connection
shared it so I know about this.
