This white paper discusses a simple yet effective emergency-access solution, sometimes called ” break-glass”. The purpose of break-glass is to allow operators emergency access to the system in cases where the normal authentication cannot be successfully completed or is not working properly. The systems include medical data acquisition devices as well as information systems which are collectively referred to as Medical Information Systems (MedIS1).
