ISO/FDA certified?

I am planning to use Subversion to control documents used in the development of medical instrumentation.  Does anyone know if Subversion has been approved or certified by ISO or FDA for this us?

Thanks,
Dave Ramsey

Hah, thanks for digging that up, Mark.
I didn't even remember that I had posted this :)

This is the best message I recall reading on this subject:

It sounds to me like the process with which you use your tools is what
needs to be validated more so than the tools themselves.  This makes
sense to me, since just about any tool can be used in proper and
improper ways.

There are medical (and other) companies using Subversion in an FDA-certified
process. I don't know anything about details of the certification procedure
though. I just know that they got certified somehow.
