Medical device maker Medtronic confirmed Monday that a cyberattack last week on its corporate IT systems did not affect its operations or patient care.
The company stated that the incident did not impact its products, manufacturing, distribution, or ability to meet patient needs. Medtronic emphasized that its IT network is separate from those supporting its product operations.
Medtronic has engaged cybersecurity experts and activated response plans to contain the attack. The company does not expect the incident to materially impact its business or financial results.
This incident highlights increasing cyber risks for medical device manufacturers, following a similar disruptive attack on peer Stryker last month.
