workarounds: Philips has identified the following guidance and mitigations:
Users should operate all Philips deployed and supported Gemini PET/CT systems within Philips authorized specifications, including Philips approved software, software configuration, system services, and security configuration.
Philips also recommends users implement a comprehensive, multi-layered strategy to protect systems from internal and external security threats, including restricting physical access of the scanner and removable media to only authorized personnel to reduce the risk of physical access by an unauthorized user.
Patient health related information recorded on removable media may become accessible to unauthorized individuals despite the application of the anonymize function, which could create a security risk.
Users with questions regarding their specific installations of the Gemini PET/CT Family should contact a Philips service support team. Philips contact information is available at https://www.usa.philips.com/healthcare/solutions/customer-service-solutions or 1-800-722-9377
