Remediation

Vendor Workaround

The remote option is turned off in the pump by default.   Medtronic is directing all users to stop using their remote controllers, disable the remote option on their insulin pump, and to return the remote controllers to Medtronic. Medtronic has released additional patient focused information https://www.medtronic.com/security . Additionally, Medtronic will be sending a letter to patients who may still be actively using the remotes in order to inform patients about these security risks, and request patients stop using the remote and return them to Medtronic.
