July 31, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning to the major hospitals commonly used medical equipment infusion pump, infusion pump because it is vulnerable to cyber attacks. The FDA strongly recommends that the hospital stop using the infusion pump.
This infusion pump from Hospira precisely controls the infusion volume through computer programming. In addition to infusion pumps, such as cardiac pacemakers, insulin pumps, cochlear implants and other medical devices are commonly used in hospitals, and are indispensable medical equipment for 1 million Americans. This type of device creates a lot of miracles, but the precise structure and control make it inseparable from computer programs.
Researchers have shown that medical devices are easily cracked and that similar medical incidents have occurred. The "source" control is insufficient. Medical devices are different from avionics, and manufacturers are often not aware of their safety. Many medical device manufacturers use the source code of the instrument as a patent and do not publish it, which makes it difficult to detect it safely.
The FDA does not currently monitor source code. Because of the network security vulnerabilities in smart medical devices, unauthorized users may remotely control the device to change the infusion dose, which ultimately poses a threat to the patient's life. Researchers have shown that medical devices are easily cracked and that similar medical incidents have occurred.
Medical devices can never reach a completely safe level and require monitoring. This monitoring must cover the entire process of production, transportation and final use. Although this is the first time the FDA has warned and recommended a cessation of medical equipment due to the risks of cybersecurity, it is likely that it will not be the last.
In response to network security risks, the FDA expects to introduce a series of safety rules and regulations at the end of the year, and has been striving to make medical devices safer and more reliable than now.
