We had a rather unfortunate incident where our security engineering team disabled the network port of a device showing viral behavior - turns out it was a medical device in active use. Article has the right of it though - these devices are black boxes which we in IT were not allowed to modify.

Forbidding IT from touching your recording devices is a necessary step for sanity - it's IT's job to know what's best for the infrastructure, but it's unrealistic for them to know the requirements of custom medical devices, of which there are hundreds of different types in any hospital.
