GE Healthcare recalls specific Centricity PACS-IW models with Universal Viewer due to potential security vulnerability allowing unauthorized access to patient data. Affected units may need updates to prevent data breaches.
There is a potential security vulnerability in Centricity Universal Viewer (UV), Centricity PACS-IW (PACS-IW), Centricity Radiology RA600 (RA600), & Centricity Cardiology CA1000 (CA1000) where the service login credentials are able to be identified which could allow a malicious actor with these credentials to access the system and potentially manipulate patient data.
GE Healthcare is recalling certain Centricity PACS-IW systems with Universal Viewer software because a security flaw could let hackers access patient data using login credentials. This affects healthcare facilities that use these specific models.
The security vulnerability allows malicious actors to identify service login credentials. If these credentials are obtained, hackers could access patient data and potentially manipulate it without the facility's knowledge.
Healthcare facilities using the recalled Centricity PACS-IW systems with Universal Viewer software are most at risk. Patients are not directly affected as the issue is a security vulnerability in the system.
Check for model numbers 2049587-015, 2066908-086, 2066908-136, or 2104867-045 on the device. The system ID will typically be listed as PACS-IW-126, GA001PACTRL01, ZA2533PAC1, or HC3062UV01.
