BD Alaris System with Guardrails Suite MX recalled for missing Wi-Fi security labeling
What this means
The labeling on BD Alaris System with Guardrails Suite MX does not specify which version of Transport Layer Security (TLS) must be enabled on hospital networks for secure Wi-Fi communication with Point-of-Care Units. This could create confusion during setup and potentially leave devices with inadequate security settings.
- Contact BD (CareFusion) or your hospital IT department for the correct TLS version required for your system
- Verify that your hospital network has the proper TLS version enabled before deploying or using affected units
- Check the affected serial numbers listed in the recall to see if your system is included
