November 18, 2024- KARL STORZ is proud to announce that the IMAGE1 S® CONNECT II camera control unit has earned certification to UL 2900-2-1 through the UL Cybersecurity Assurance Program. UL 2900-2-1 is a national consensus standard published by the American National Standards Institute and recognized by the FDA as a path to fulfilling the agency’s cybersecurity testing recommendations for medical devices.
IMAGE1 S is a modular, scalable endoscopic imaging platform that allows users to add functionality as needed. The CONNECT II camera control unit is the heart of the system, enabling separate modules for working with rigid and flexible endoscopes in HD, 4K, 3D, and NIR/ICG imaging modes. It’s a vital component of the industry-leading OR integration solutions provided by KARL STORZ.
ULCAP certification is part of a longstanding effort at KARL STORZ to meet the most stringent cybersecurity requirements. Last year, KARL STORZ became the first provider of OR integration solutions to receive an Authorization to Operate (ATO) from the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), Defense Health Agency (DHA). The company’s flagship OR integration products cleared extensive IT security and privacy controls and was deemed secure within certain deployment parameters for operation in military hospitals, clinics, and medical facilities.
