Abstract
Apparatus and associated methods relate to a Self-Validating System (SVS) which includes an Electronic Self-Validating Module (ESVM) that may be employed within a medical device, operable to receive and to transmit wireless transmissions to and from a personal electronic mobile device, the mobile device executing a Self-Validating Medical Device Remote Control (SVMDRC) application, also known as the mobile app, operable to control the ESVM, the mobile device and the ESVM further executing a pre-determined sequence of instructions at a pre-determined frequency, operable to perform a set of safety (validation) checks on the mobile device, and the ESVM. In an illustrative example, changes (updates) to the mobile device's operating system, the app, or the hardware on the mobile device may be detected by the mobile device, and may advantageously re-validate the mobile device automatically.
