It wouldn't be too difficult to modify things like ttl, syn/ack prng, and banners to fool something like nmap, but more sophisticated fingerprinting software would require mimicking SSDP requests and responses; totally doable with enough packet captures over a period of time. Would be a fun project.
The issue is trust/verification during transport. Were temp/humidity kept in check? What was the biological lot number? Model of the machine that read the biological? Temp sterilization/dry time?
Granted you could have a database and hospital customers could retrieve that information from there but what happens when they can't?
There are definitely places where the SPD process could be improved but outsourcing isn't a very handsome one.
Many shavers can be ran through a washer now which is great, but until they can be submerged in an ultrasonic cleaner these issues will remain. I'm a huge proponent for sterile handpieces and disposable inserts; doesn't really work in this case as the 'blade' for the shaver is disposable.
Problem with lye is it may cause pitting in metallic surfaces which is a problem because it gives bioburden something to grab hold to, thus harder to clean. Not only that but some sets contain a mix of metals and lye can cause those coatings to be removed.
I was an SPD tech and Surgical Tech for a while and while I no longer have skin in the game it's still something that concerns me.
In our hospital anything that came from a Rep, sterilized or not, HAD to be reprocessed as of it were used because there is no way to verify conditions between transport; humidity, height from floor/ceiling, biological incubation and results. On top of that sometimes Reps would only have a single tray but the doc would schedule 4 back to back caeses needing that set. Who gets the blame when it's not ready in time? Not anesthesia for putting the pt under too soon, not the doc for their inability to contact spd prior to scheduling cases, not the nurse for failure to check with the scrub, no it's the SPD staff.
Things like yankhauer and Poole suctions are impossible to clean; many packs come with disposable ones now. Hell, the vast majority of surgical equipment is disposable but hospitals are in the making money business and reuse is much cheaper. Many clinics in our hospital were unaware of how to reprocess their items and would turn in soiled items that sat all weekend covered in blood without any enzymatic cleaner; not to mention half their items were single use but are being treated as multi-use.
Man, I'm glad I moved to being an assist and even happier I left the surgical field in general.
The hopping sequence is determined pesudorandomly (not sequentially) using the link key, so you can't exactly "hop along" once you find the right channel.
I thought the hopping sequence and clock was adopted from the master during the paging process, as the slave joins the network, before the link negotiation process even begins.
Started a new school again after 12 years and recently learned about this. Just picked it up along with some bullet journalling techniques and so far it's been great.
Just picked up a "livescribe" echo from eBay for $30. I don't do well with notes on a computer or tablet but I like the idea of digitizing them and recording a meeting at the same time; and pin point play back. We'll see how it goes.
From my experience, I found that the Livescribe and their ilk depend on a razor/cartridge model. The pen itself might be cheap(the razor) but the refills/special paper (the cartridges) are ridiculously expensive. Any particular reason/hack you found to circumvent the prices?
