DeviceTotal: Unifying All Vulnerability Sources into an Actionable Overview
High-severity vulnerabilities in medical devices are not just IT problems — they are patient safety risks. Hospitals depend on vendor advisories to know if their devices are exposed. But what happens when the vendor’s own data is incomplete?
That’s exactly what happened with GE Healthcare’s LOGIQ E10 ultrasound system. GE’s security advisory failed to provide firmware-specific clarity and missed high-severity vulnerabilities.
DeviceTotal uncovered the truth — mapping all 5 vulnerabilities with firmware-exact precision, providing hospitals the clear guidance GE could not.

The Security Gap
- Device: GE Healthcare LOGIQ E10 ultrasound system
- Firmware: R3.1.5
- GE Advisory: Listed CVEs vaguely, without device- or firmware-specific confirmation
- NVD Coverage: Only CVE-2020-6977 mapped precisely; other entries incomplete
Result: Hospitals relying only on GE advisories or NVD would have missed 4 confirmed vulnerabilities (CVE-2024-1486, CVE-2024-1628, CVE-2024-1629, CVE-2024-1630).
The GE security portal’s reply for this model and firmware was: “No advisories exist at this time.” For hospitals procuring new equipment, that meant operating blind.
“No advisories exist at this time” noted on the LOGIQ devices, including E10. DeviceTotal’s AI-powered analysis tied the pieces together and confirmed five different vulnerabilities for this device.
One of four vulnerabilities tied to an undefined GE Healthcare device – at the time of writing, this set of CVEs has waited more than 9 months for enrichment; waiting still
The Reality Found by DeviceTotal
DeviceTotal matched all five vulnerabilities directly to LOGIQ E10 firmware, including vendor-verified context:
- Version-exact affected/not affected calls
- Vendor patches or workarounds where available
- Traceability to official sources
DeviceTotal conducted a thorough analysis and put all the fragmented/incomplete data together, using a multitude of sources, including vendor advisories, NVD, CISA, and MITRE.

How It Works in Healthcare Workflows
- No disruption — No installation, no connectivity, no clinical risk
- Simple input — Vendor, model, firmware via CSV, API, or bulk list
- Automated analysis — Normalizes and correlates advisories, NVD, CISA, MITRE, and vendor data
- Actionable insights — Upgrade paths, vendor workarounds, EOL/EOS visibility
- Lifecycle coverage — From pre-purchase validation through EOL, updated daily
Actionable Insights Text Here
Platform View – Workarounds: For each vulnerability, GE advises restricting physical access and applying standard cybersecurity best practices. For example, CVE-2024-1628 includes a vendor-recommended workaround to prevent unauthorized access.
Platform View – Upgrade Path: For LOGIQ E10 running firmware R3.1.5, the latest vendor version available is R4.6.0, providing hospitals with a clear remediation direction.
Outcome
With DeviceTotal, healthcare teams:
- Avoided underestimating risk by catching 4 unlisted CVEs
- Reduced compliance exposure with vendor-verified proof of impact
- Saved time by focusing on firmware-exact vulnerabilities only
- Improved procurement by identifying at-risk devices before purchase
- Improve procurement decisions by identifying at-risk devices before purchase
Why It Matters?
Even the largest vendors can miss vulnerabilities in their own devices. DeviceTotal ensures hospitals don’t.
By unifying advisories, public feeds, and regulatory data — then applying advanced analytics — DeviceTotal provides:
- Full-spectrum coverage across vendors
- Firmware-exact accuracy
- Continuous lifecycle intelligence (EOL/EOS, patches, mitigations)
- Vendor reputation scoring and KEV flags
