Medtronic has reported an unauthorized party accessed data in certain corporate IT systems.
The company said it has not identified any impact to its products, patient safety, customer connections, manufacturing and distribution operations, financial reporting systems or its ability to meet patient needs, according to an April 24 news release from the company.
“We have worked to contain and neutralize the issue by activating our incident response protocols and limiting access inside the Medtronic IT environment,” the company told Becker’s in a statement.
Medtronic said the networks supporting its corporate IT systems, products and manufacturing and distribution operations are separate. Hospital customer networks also remain separate from Medtronic IT networks and are managed by customers’ IT teams.
The company said it does not expect a material impact to its business.
