If you are creating life critical medical devices you should not be using linux.

Hmm, what do you mean?
Like, no you should not adopt some buggy or untested distro, instead choose each component carefully and disable all un-needed updates...
But that beats working on an unstable, randomly and capriciously deprecated and broken OS (windows/mac over the years), that you can perform zero practical review, casual or otherwise, legal or otherwise, and that insists upon updating and further breaking itself at regular intervals...
Unless you mean to talk maybe about some microkernel with a very simple graphical UI, which, sure yes, much less complexity...
I mean you should be building life critical medical devices on top of an operating system like QNX or vxworks which are much more stable and simpler.
