On that specific situation.
I really want to know what network needs a ventilator has other than
firmware updates, and some "mycontroller" connection.
If we assume that it already has a good MUD file, then I'm not sure I know
what immediate thing the network should do if there is a CVE.

Clearly, scheduling it for swap out is important, but you'd never shut it
down at that moment.  There is also a question about audit trail for when the
issue was noticed, when it upgrade was scheduled, when it actually was
upgraded, etc.
