“Cybersecurity remains a critical concern for hospitals, impacting both patient safety and financial stability,” said Lothar Thielen, President and CEO of Dräger, Inc. “In response, Dräger integrates advanced cybersecurity measures throughout our product development. Achieving ATO certification for our Atlan anesthesia workstations represents the highest security benchmark a medical device can attain.”

This certification builds upon Dräger’s previous successes with the Perseus A500 (eMASS #2852) and Fabius MRI (eMASS #2875) anesthesia systems. With Atlan now certified, healthcare providers can be assured that Dräger’s entire anesthesia device portfolio has undergone stringent cybersecurity evaluation.

Advantages of ATO-Certified Medical Equipment

  • Medical devices holding the Authority to Operate status under the RMF framework offer several key benefits to healthcare facilities:
