About this file
The document is a Medical Device and Equipment Risk Assessment (MDERA) Version 6 form used by the Defense Health Agency (DHA) Medical Cybersecurity division to assess the cybersecurity compliance of medical devices and equipment. The comprehensive questionnaire requires vendors to provide detailed technical information about their medical systems, including hardware/firmware configurations, operating systems, installed applications, data processing capabilities, encryption methods, wireless capabilities, and electronic protected health information (ePHI) handling procedures.
Key sections of the MDERA include system identification details, technical specifications, endpoint protection capabilities, vulnerability scanning policies, remote access features, data processing methods, and encryption capabilities. The form emphasizes the need for full disclosure of technical characteristics to support the Risk Management Framework (RMF) Authorization process, with warnings that failure to provide complete information could result in the system being ineligible for purchase or contract cancellation. The document is designed to ensure medical devices meet Department of Defense (DoD) and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) cybersecurity standards across various operational environments.

Medical Device and Equipment Risk Assessment
(MDERA)
Version 6
To ascertain security compliance that is in agreement with United States Federal Government (USFG), Department of Defense (DoD), and Defense Health Agency (DHA) policies and directives, the vendor is required to complete the following Medical Device Equipment Readiness Assessment Questionnaire (MDERA) as part of the Request for Offer (RFO)/Risk Management Framework (RMF) Change Control Board (CCB) review process.
All Medical Systems/Devices are required to meet DoD cybersecurity and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standards, regardless of network connection type. The information provided below will be used as a pre-procurement selection tool used to support all stakeholders working to achieve a Risk Management Framework (RMF) Authorization. Failure to disclose all required information, or misrepresentation of the proposed system’s capabilities, will result in the system being ineligible for purchase, or result in a breach of contract and cancellation of contract if discovered after award.
The information provided below which includes data processing capabilities, current security posture, and level of compliance with the cybersecurity principles of Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability will be used to identify the technical characteristics of the Medical System/Device and determine the level of effort and potential actions required prior to and during an RMF Assessment process, from a cybersecurity standpoint.
