Vendors must complete the Medical Device Equipment Readiness Assessment Questionnaire as part of the Request for Offer (RFO) process to ensure that all devices meet established cybersecurity principles, including confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The questionnaire covers various aspects, including device identification, technical specifications, data processing capabilities, and security measures related to device operation. Key sections include a detailed inventory of medical devices and their configurations, compliance with operating systems and installed applications, and mechanisms for vulnerability scanning and patch management. There are explicit instructions on data processing functions related to electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI) and Personally Identifiable Information (PII), highlighting requirements for secure data handling. The document emphasizes the need for accuracy and transparency in vendor submissions, indicating that misrepresented information may lead to contract ineligibility or breach. This structured assessment process aims to mitigate risks, enhance patient safety, and ensure compliance with federal cybersecurity standards before procurement and implementation of medical technologies.
