From Tijl:
No actual statement of the FDA, but maybe these links are useful.

What does the FDA think about OpenAPS?
You can Google it, or ask them yourselves! Our take on what they’ve told us directly as well as what they’ve said publicly: their responsibility is to regulate products on the commercial market and help safeguard the public. OpenAPS is NOT a commercial product and is not sold or distributed in anyway. Individuals who build an OpenAPS are essentially doing an (n=1) experiment, which they have a right to do to/by themselves. That is not a regulated activity by the FDA.
