Designed to obtain information from a patient’s implanted cardiac device, the MCL Smart Patient Reader then sends the data to the Medtronic CareLink network, to facilitate care management, through the patient’s mobile device.
Three vulnerabilities discovered by researchers at IoT security firm Sternum in the MCL Smart Model 25000 Patient Reader could be exploited to modify or fabricate data that is transmitted from the implanted patient device to the CareLink network.
