Abstract: A patient support apparatus, such as a bed, cot, stretcher, recliner, etc. includes a support deck, one or more lifts, and a plurality of circuit boards. Each circuit board includes an associated controller and memory, as well as a set of data associated with that circuit board. One of the controllers, such as, but not limited to, a main controller is adapted to automatically store a backup copy of the set of data associated with the other circuit boards. This main controller is further adapted to automatically determine if any of the circuit boards, including itself, are replacements of a previously installed circuit board. If so, the main controller uses the backup copy of the corresponding set of data to supply the replacement circuit board with the data from its previous counterpart, thereby ensuring that the historical data from past circuit boards is automatically transferred forward to their replacements.

Abstract: A medical device, such as a patient support apparatus or a thermal control unit, includes a plurality of mechanical components and a plurality of nodes adapted to communicate with each other over a local network onboard the medical device, and a gateway in communication with an off-board network. The gateway translates messages between the onboard and off-board networks, manages subscriptions to content of the local network, controls bidirectional communication, and otherwise oversees communications between the local and remote networks. The gateway utilizes a configuration file for managing the communications between the off-board and onboard networks, and the gateway is configured to switch to using new or modified configuration files without requiring a reboot or power cycle of the gateway. Updates to the communications between the onboard and off-board networks can therefore be implemented without any downtime and/or without requiring updates to software executables.
