Practical implication
Users must perform a software update to disable remote control and speed regulation for e-motion systems before January 1, 2021, using the Mobility application (version V01.004). For newer models, users need to safely store QR code labels after pairing.
Following two hacking attempts involving the e-Motion M25 electric wheelchair, Alber GmbH issued a safety alert, implementing new security measures to prevent unauthorized access to powered wheels and providing software updates for users.
What changed: New security measures were established for the e-Motion M25 electric wheelchair, including disabling remote control and speed regulation functions for units manufactured before January 1, 2021 via a software update.
Why it matters: The safety of users is crucial as unauthorized access could potentially result in misuse or accidents involving the electric wheelchair.
Practical implication: Users must perform a software update to disable remote control and speed regulation for e-motion systems before January 1, 2021, using the Mobility application (version V01.004). For newer models, users need to safely store QR code labels after pairing.
