April 27 (Reuters) - Medical device maker Medtronic said on Monday a cyberattack on its computer ‌systems last week did not affect its products ‌or ability to meet patient needs, and is not expected to ​materially impact its business or financial results.

Medtronic said the attack that hit the network supporting its corporate IT systems did not impact its products, patient safety, ‌manufacturing or distribution ⁠operations.

The incident, disclosed in a statement on Friday, underscores growing cyber risks for medical ⁠device makers, as attacks disrupt critical health services, raising concerns over patient safety and data security.

The IT network ​remain separate ​from those that support ​its products, manufacturing and ‌distribution operations, Medtronic said on Friday.

Peer Stryker last month reported a destructive cyberattack that delayed surgeries for patients and caused widespread disruption to its business, including its ability to process orders, make products and ‌ship them to customers.

An Iranian-linked hacking ​group called Handala had claimed ​responsibility for the ​attack, saying it was in retaliation ‌to a strike on a ​girls' school in ​Minab, southern Iran.

Medtronic said it has activated response plans and engaged cybersecurity experts to help contain ​the attack.

The ‌company did not immediately respond to a Reuters ​request for comment.
