For something like a fetal heart monitor, which has been certified to work in exactly one configuration, why would you allow external media? Have an internal network, and lock down every device. If nurses want to have a computer to use for Facebook, it can be on a separate, non-medical network.

Unfortunately, if the monitor uses a COTS operating system (doesn't matter which), that's one way in for malware. Unlike their military applications, air gaps in health care settings aren't there to protect confidentiality, but availability.
