Ensuring cybersecurity readiness is a fundamental requirement for modern medical devices operating in clinical environments. IEC 60601 places strong emphasis on risk analysis to ensure essential performance remains uncompromised even under cyber threat conditions.
Cyberintelsys helps New Zealand manufacturers assess cyber risk at every stage of the product lifecycle, delivering confidence to regulators, hospitals, and patients alike.
Why IEC 60601 Cybersecurity Matters
IEC 60601 cybersecurity requirements focus on safeguarding:
- Device function & essential performance
- Patient health and clinical safety
- Medical data security & confidentiality
- Operational reliability in healthcare environments
Cyber vulnerabilities in medical devices can result in:
- System shutdown or harmful malfunction
- Remote tampering of device configuration
- Unauthorized data access or manipulation
- Disruption of critical hospital workflows
Strong cybersecurity ensures medical electrical devices remain trustworthy throughout their operational lifecycle.
Who Needs IEC 60601 Compliance in New Zealand?
This applies to manufacturers and operators of:
- Connected clinical devices & hospital equipment
- Wearable and home-care monitoring systems
