Abstract
Methods and apparatus for securely updating software for a medical device are described. The method comprises receiving, by the medical device from a firewall device, an indication that a software update for the medical device is available, determining whether the medical device is in a patient use state, and sending a request to the firewall device to establish a bidirectional data transfer communication link between the medical device and an Internet-connected device when it is determined that the medical device is not in a patient use state.
