Please be mindful of any devices you use
especially for healthcare that can be controlled/adjusted/configured remotely.
The FDA put out this communication about such a device. Please heed
accordingly.
“The FDA is concerned that,
due to cybersecurity vulnerabilities identified in the device, someone other
than a patient, caregiver or health care provider could potentially connect
wirelessly to a nearby MiniMed insulin pump and change the pump’s settings.”
