1. A hub, comprising:
- a local area network interface component configured to communicate data with a medical device;
a first system-on-module configured to interface with a first communications channel;
a second system-on-module configured to interface with a second communications channel;
a processor configured to package the data from the medical device into at least one packet, wherein a packet of the at least one packet includes a header, the processor further configured to operatively communicate with one of the first and second system-on-modules to communicate the at least one packet over one of the first and second communications channels;
a failsafe bus configured to signal from the hub to the medical device when a fatal-error fault condition of the hub has occurred; and
an alarm wire bus configured to signal from the hub to the medical device when an alarm condition of the hub has occurred to cause the medical device to execute at least one mitigation.
