This is (possibly depending on use) a biomedical device. These are regulated such that we pull separate cat5/6 and put up chain link in network closets. The Cisco switch in one side of that fence just vanilla corporate IT with email, EHR, Netflix etc; the same switch on the other side and all the stuff connected to it - from the bedside monitor out through the central alarm station - is a medical device.
That isolation is the presumption referenced in the recent GE vulnerability [0] and the challenges of getting bio med chocolate in the corporate (ehr) peanut butter presents significant challenges [1].
