Plain-English summary
GE Healthcare, LLC is recalling 7,168 Aestiva 7900 anesthesia systems, including specific model numbers such as 1006-9300-000 and 1006-9305-000. The devices were distributed worldwide.
The recall was initiated because 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.
Hospitals and healthcare facilities with these devices should contact GE Healthcare for further instructions on how to address the vulnerability. No specific illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text, but the potential for compromised device functionality poses a risk to patient safety.
