As far as I know the SD cards are still standard, even on connected machines. Everybody is working on connectivity but on medical devices it's pretty hard because of regulations you need hosting accreditation for health data and specific anonymization processes and even then it doesn't mean you have a right to use the data you collect. In my opinion it's the one industry where IOT would be a boon to society, it'd enable medical research in a huge way. We put so many protections in place to protect people's health data, and paradoxically insurers have a easier time getting access to it than the scientists who do medical research. I'd encourage anyone in this thread using a mechanical ventilator to donate their respiratory data anonymously. If you look for respiratory data online you'll see it's meager what's openly available, and hospitals/doctors who do this kind of research guard their datasets fiercely, not because of privacy concerns mind you since they're anonymized but because it gives them a competitive advantage. To really hammer home what I'm talking about, if tonight you extracted your data from that SD cards and you published the recordings from your last 10 nights of breathing with your machine you'd create one the largest open respiratory datasets online. It'd take 1 to 2 years for a medical researcher with industry or hospital backing to go through the process to have the right to gather this kind of data on a patient.
