Medical IoT
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 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.
