1.10 Security features of the programmer
Good security practices are needed to protect patient data and the integrity of any
network-connected product. The programmer incorporates features that facilitate
management of security. These features work in conjunction with the security practices of
hospitals and clinics to provide safe and secure operation of the programmer and protect the
attached network.
1.10.1 How the programmer promotes security
All installed software has been approved by Medtronic. It is not possible to install general
purpose software on the programmer. Controlling installed software minimizes the potential
for vulnerabilities. Internal software that runs the programmer is locked from change. Every
time the programmer is started, a clean version of the installed software is used.
The length of time that patient data can be stored on the programmer is limited. When patient
data is removed from the programmer, it is completely erased so that it is no longer
recoverable.
The programmer limits how it communicates on a network. When communicating on a
network, the programmer uses industry-accepted protocols for authenticating servers and
encrypting transmitted data. Only required network connections are open and they are only
open when being used. Network communications are originated by the programmer.
Unauthorized software is not permitted to originate communications with the programmer.
Unsupported hardware, including unsupported USB devices, is ignored by the programmer
and is not accessed.
Medtronic continues to work with its partners to analyze emerging threats and evaluate
potential impact on the programmer.
18 Reference Manual
Medtronic
MEDTRONIC CARELINK® 2090
1.10.2 What hospitals and clinics can do to promote the security of programmers
Maintain good physical controls over the programmer. Having a secure physical
environment prevents access to the internals of the programmer.
Only connect the programmer to managed, secure networks.
Update the software on the programmer when Medtronic updates are available.
1.10.3 What to do if you suspect the programmer has been compromised
If you believe that the programmer has been compromised by a security threat, turn off the
programmer, disconnect it from the network, then restart the system. Discontinue use of the
programmer if it does not behave as expected. Contact your Medtronic or Vitatron
representative for further assistance.
1.11 Software requirements
The programmer requires software from Medtronic and Vitatron to operate. Once installed,
the software remains on the programmer hard drive.
Medtronic and Vitatron periodically update the software to add functions to the programmer.
The programmer will not operate properly without the appropriate software installed. If the
programmer does not operate properly, check the version of software that is loaded on the
programmer, and update it if necessary.

2.2.3 About the ECG cable
The Medtronic Model 2090 EC/ECL ECG cable and lead wires connect the programmer to
skin electrodes for ECG and measurement functions requiring surface detection of cardiac
and implantable device signals.
The ECG cable is designed for use with five lead wires. However, some physicians prefer to
use only four lead wires. If four lead wires are used, insert the chest ECG plug into the middle
cable port of the ECG cable.
Note: Improper insertion of the cable plug may damage the connector pins.
