Medical Device: BD MAX System Service Credential Breach Poses Unauthorized Access Risk
An unauthorized actor accessed service credentials for Becton Dickinson's BD MAX diagnostic systems. Until credentials are updated, there is risk of unauthorized access that may impact data confidentiality, system integrity, and availability.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: This is a Class II FDA recall where an unauthorized actor has already accessed service credentials. While no illnesses or injuries have been reported, the potential impact on system integrity, data confidentiality, and data availability in a medical diagnostic system poses a significant risk of harm. Per the rubric, this qualifies as a 'risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.'
