IoT Security provides utilization statistics, supports MDS2 files, and monitors recalls for medical IoT.
Where Can I Use This?What Do I Need?
  • IoT Security (Managed by IoT Security)
  • IoT Security Medical subscription
IoT Security provides a means to monitor how its supported categories of medical IoT imaging devices and infusion systems are utilized and if vendors have issued recalls on medical equipment in your network. It also supports the upload of MDS2 files, which it uses to discover vulnerabilities and raise security alerts for medical IoT devices. These features work together to provide a holistic view of your medical device ecosystem.
When you use the Medical IoT Security portal theme, the IoT Security portal displays the biomedical and utilization dashboards. The biomedical dashboard provides a high-level overview of your devices, including their status, risk levels, and other key metrics to quickly assess the health and security posture of your medical device fleet. The utilization dashboard adds another layer of insight by providing data on how your medical devices are being used. This feature helps you optimize your device allocation, identify underutilized assets, and make informed decisions about device procurement and retirement.
To augment information about medical devices, Medical IoT Security helps you manage Manufacturer Disclosure Statement for Medical Device Safety (MDS2) documents. You can upload your MDS2 documents to Medical IoT Security and join the MDS2 Community. The MDS2 Community feature lets you leverage crowd-sourced information about medical devices, helping you identify and categorize devices more accurately and stay informed about potential security risks.
Additionally, if active recalls affect any of your medical devices, Medical IoT Security displays a Recalls page. This page lets you track and manage device recalls by alerting you to affected devices and helping you prioritize your response.
By combining inventory management, utilization data, community-sourced information, and recall tracking, Medical IoT Security enables you to:
  • Maintain an accurate and up-to-date inventory of medical devices
  • Identify and mitigate security risks promptly
  • Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements
  • Optimize device allocation and utilization
  • Make data-driven decisions about device lifecycle management
By providing a unified platform for managing these various aspects of medical device security and operations, Medical IoT Security addresses the complex challenges and regulations faced by healthcare organizations in today's interconnected and technology-driven healthcare environment.
