There are 2 issues (that I know of) with medical devices: 1) Companies stop offering updates and/or parts for their devices, which basically bricks them, forcing hospitals to replace otherwise perfectly fine equipment, and 2) A lot of medical devices use Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) which tends to have shitty, self-created security. But applying a patch that doesn't come from the original manufacturer is illegal.

You're right that "medical devices need some strict repair regulation." But the tech behind them currently doesn't have that regulation, making them needlessly dangerous if they can't be updated.

Here's some more info about the legislation that's tried to remedy the medical device fiasco:

> Restrictions on access to tools, parts, and information needed to service and repair medical devices were highlighted during the pandemic, as some original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) were unable to offer parts or on-site support in a timely manner due to hospital restrictions, state or local guidelines or, in some cases, by the OEMs’ policy.
