NHS Supply Chain has set up an incident team to manage disruption caused by the Stryker cyber attack and is collaborating with NHS England and the Department for Health and Social Care, who have engaged with the National Supply Disruption Response (NSDR) team, to formulate a system wide response.
NHS Supply Chain has released the following update:
Impact:
We are working with Stryker to understand and assess the impact. The cyber-attack has affected all of Stryker’s systems so they cannot receive orders direct or via NHS Supply Chain.
Our teams are working to identify potential alternative solutions across a number of category areas to minimise disruption to the NHS.
Due to the incident the following stocked Stryker products will be subject to Control Demand Management and can only be ordered by submitting an escalation form:
FDJ3862 – Defibrillator Electrode Edge Adult FDJ609 – Automated Defibrillator Life Pack FDJ610 – Automated Defibrillator Life Pack FDJ611 – Automated Defibrillator Life Pack FPA663 – Oral Swab Sodium Bicarbonate FPA664 – Oral Swab Untreated.
Unfortunately, most of the demand managed products are alternatives for each other. A detailed product listing will follow.
