GE Healthcare recalls specific Aestiva MRI models due to cybersecurity vulnerability allowing unauthorized flow sensor corrections when connected to hospital networks. Affected units include model numbers 1006-9310-000 and others listed in the recall notice.
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 MRI models because they have a cybersecurity vulnerability that could allow hackers to send false flow sensor corrections when connected to hospital networks. This could lead to incorrect anesthesia dosing during medical procedures.
The vulnerability allows a malicious actor who has already entered a hospital network to send fraudulent flow sensor correction parameters through an insufficiently secured terminal server. This could lead to incorrect anesthesia dosing during medical procedures if the system is compromised.
Healthcare facilities using the recalled Aestiva MRI models are most at risk. Patients undergoing anesthesia procedures with these specific models could be affected if the system is compromised.
