Abstract
Wireless Infusion Pumps are an inevitable part of Hospital Delivery Organizations (HDOs). Nowadays there have been lots of cases of recalls of infusion pumps due to vulnerabilities existing in the devices that make it a safety concern for use on patients before patching the cyber security issues. This research has been conducted with the participation of Public Health Alberta to present an overview of what is the security considerations to design secure software for infusion pumps. In this paper, possible attacks have been specified to create an understanding of the potential dangers that exist for wireless infusion pumps. Moreover, components that should be secured have been identified. This paper proposes controls by incorporating security measures at the design phase of software development of Wireless Infusion Pumps.
