Action | Thermo Fisher issued a Medical Device Advisory Notice on Feb 7 2024 to US Customers. Letter includes instructions for mitigation of the vulnerabilities,health risk and action to take:
Therefore, Thermo Fisher Scientific advises customers using impacted versions of Torrent Suite Dx to disconnect the Ion PGM Dx sequencer, Ion OneTouch instrument and the Ion PGM" Torrent Server from the customer's network to mitigate the vulnerabilities. To access the data results generated on the instrument, Thermo Fisher Scientific recommends connecting the Ion OneTouch instrument and the Ion
PGM Dx Sequencer directly into the Ion PGM Torrent Server. Customers can access the Ion PGM Torrent Server by connecting their laptops (with WiFi disabled) directly into the server. Please have your IT department contact your local Thermo Fisher Scientific field support team for mitigation guidance.
Thermo Fisher Scientific advises the user facility to have proper network firewalls and controlled access to laboratory equipment and laboratory systems.
We will keep you informed if new or additional information becomes available.
