Claim 0:
1. An electronic device, wherein the electronic device includes a plurality of components collectively configured to treat one or more biological fluids, the device comprising:
a first group of components, wherein the first group of components includes one or more components configured to receive one or more inputs from a user of the device;
a first controller communicatively coupled to the first group of components and configured to operate the first group of components using one or more commands formatted using a first communications protocol;
a second group of components, wherein the second group of components comprise:
one or more platforms, wherein each platform of the one or more platforms is configured to carry a biological fluid of the one or more biological fluids;
one or more light engines, wherein each light engine is configured to illuminate a biological fluid of the one or more biological fluids; and

a second controller communicatively coupled to the second group of components and communicatively coupled to the first controller, wherein the second controller is configured to coordinate one or more operations involving the second group of components;
wherein the second controller communicates with the first controller and the second group of components using a second communications protocol, wherein the second communications protocol is configured such that the second group of components operate in response to one or more commands from the second controller using the second communications protocol.
