let me tell you. they are connected to the internet. they are running XP. (they are connected to the same hospital network as everything else)
seen it in multiple hospitals with my own eyes.
furthermore. they cannot upgrade past XP or whatever they are running.
why? because if you change the software, then it's no longer FDA certified and cannot be used for patient care.
whatever software it was FDA certified on, is where it stays for the life of the machine.
the industry has been struggling with this for almost a decade now.
