The document discusses how healthcare providers often lack visibility into their medical devices, making it difficult to effectively manage device inventory, maintenance, procurement, and security. It outlines challenges such as relying on outdated manual inventories, not knowing when to schedule maintenance based on actual usage, struggling to identify devices needing patches, and not having full visibility into inventory for procurement needs. The document promotes a medical device security platform that provides real-time visibility into devices through IoT/IoMT inventory and status tracking, granular device profiles containing attributes, and insights into device usage, risk status, and activity to help simplify lifecycle management.

2. Most healthcare delivery providers lack
real-time visibility into the devices in
their environment.
This makes device management,
maintenance, procurement,
and security challenging.
For example…

3. Device Inventory
When you have to rely on time-consuming
and resource intensive manual inventories –
which are out of date as soon as they are
started – it is virtually impossible to
effectively and efficiently manage your
environment.
Challenge
➢ Establish a digitized, single source of truth
that locates, identifies and profiles all of
the devices in your environment.
➢ Ensure your inventory is always accurate
by knowing when devices are introduced
or moved or the IP address has changed.
Remedy

4. Device Maintenance
Scheduling maintenance based on time (e.g.
every six months/every year), instead of actual
utilization, wastes time and money. You either
service devices that don’t need it yet or you
overutilize devices and miss manufacturer
suggested maintenance deadlines.
Challenge
➢ Schedule maintenance at optimal times
based on utilization patterns and ensure
warranty requirements are met.
➢ Leverage location data to quickly find the
devices requiring maintenance.
Remedy

5. Device Patching
When a patch is required, clinical engineers
struggle to identify the vulnerable devices
because they don’t know which operating
system or software they are running.
Challenge
➢ With a detailed digital profile of all connected
devices that includes serial numbers,
operating systems, software versions,
location, etc. you can quickly know which
devices are at high risk and find them easily.
➢ Have confidence that you can patch 100% of
the affected devices.
Remedy

6. Device Procurement
When you don’t have full visibility into your inventory,
it’s hard to know if a procurement request requires
purchasing new equipment or reallocation of existing
equipment.
Challenge
➢ Maintain a real-time inventory of your environment
so you can quickly identify how many of a specific
device you have (i.e. 200 infusion pumps).
➢ Understand how each device is being used, so
you know if any are unused or underutilized and
can be reallocated.
➢ Pinpoint where devices are located at all times.

get the visibility you
need to effectively
manage the
lifecycle of your
medical devices?
