- Alignment with FDA, IEC, HIPAA and applicable global requirements
More broadly, Bayer is committed to strong cybersecurity practices across our portfolio of connected solutions.
The Value of Connectivity
- Critical cybersecurity updates can be deployed efficiently when needed, and cybersecurity vulnerabilities can be patched remotely, helping you maintain alignment with your organization’s patching and vulnerability‑management requirements
- Software can be implemented and fully supported remotely, reducing onsite service needs and minimizing the impact of downtime
- Operational performance can be monitored and assessed remotely, enabling more accurate diagnostics and higher first‑time fix rates
- When an injector is online, remote case resolution rates are 7% higher, which can eliminate the need for onsite intervention
- If onsite service is needed, field technicians arrive with knowledge of the error codes and the required parts, improving resolution times and minimizing operational disruption
- Operational and device‑level data can be securely accessed, giving your IT, clinical engineering, and imaging teams actionable insights for performance monitoring, standardization, and audit readiness
