The FDA yesterday warned hospitals about a security risk with 2 models of Hospira (NYSE:HSP) drug infusion pumps, citing an independent researcher's discovery of a flaw that could allow hackers to manipulate the devices.
Security researcher Billy Rios found that hackers could upload a new drug library into Hospira's remotely-programmed LifeCare PCA3 and PCA5 devices, thereby altering their dosage limits, according to Wired magazine. That creates a risk for potentially deadly doses of anesthetic or pain drugs.
