In reality, a huge number of modern IV drip machines plug into the wall for power and get their network connectivity via 802.11. This is to allow remote configuration and status monitoring.

Are the IV drip machines running Windows CE or XP embedded? Was there a news report that claimed that IV drip machines were affected by malware?
