Abstract: A medical device hub power management system, method, and apparatus are disclosed. An example hub connectivity station includes a connectivity stage configured to provide a data connection with an external network. The hub connectivity station also includes at least one docking apparatus configured to connect to at least one medical device. The docking apparatuses are connected to the connectivity station in a stacked arrangement. The docking apparatuses and connectivity stage include power and data connectors to enable data and power to be provided through the hub connectivity station. To prevent electrical shock, a top power connector of each docking apparatus is disconnected from power when that docking apparatus is not connected to another docking apparatus or the connectivity stage. Power is provided to the top power connector after detecting another docking apparatus or the connectivity stage is connected to the top of the docking apparatus.
