GE Healthcare recalls Aestiva 7100 anesthesia systems with specific model numbers due to cybersecurity vulnerabilities that could allow unauthorized access to hospital networks. Affected units may be at risk of fraudulent flow sensor corrections.
Certain Aespire and Aestiva Anesthesia Systems were noted to have a vulnerability to a cyber-attack when connected to the hospital network. An insufficiently secured terminal server may provide an opportunity for a malicious actor that has already penetrated the hospital network to send fraudulent flow sensor correction parameters.
GE Healthcare is recalling certain Aestiva 7100 anesthesia systems with specific model numbers because they have a cybersecurity vulnerability that could allow attackers to send fraudulent flow sensor corrections when connected to hospital networks. This could potentially lead to incorrect anesthesia dosing.
The vulnerability allows an attacker who has already penetrated a hospital network to send fraudulent flow sensor correction parameters through an insufficiently secured terminal server. This could lead to incorrect anesthesia dosing if the system is used in a hospital setting.
