So medical devices connected to the network run Windows, eh? Now what could possibly go wrong?
WHAT ARE THEY THINKING?
Many may not know that they’re making patient beds with IP addresses now, which are connected to the network, which could potentially be hacked. Not only are the beds connected, but the drip bag machines are also connected. Hmmmmmm.......sounds like someone could hack into the hospital, find a certain patient’s bed and drip bag, and cause all kinds of havoc.
The Tech stations usually are, but the devices themselves mostly not. GE Centricity workstations tend to be Windows 2000 Pro. Fujitsu/Siemens also tend to use Windows for the Tech workstations. Everything else tends to be some Unix variant.
