GE Medical Systems is recalling 29,225 units of the MAC VU360 Acquisition Trunk Cable and Module Holder used with resting electrocardiograph (ECG) machines. If the module is placed incorrectly into its holder, the cable can experience excessive bending and wear, leading to damaged insulation or exposed wires. If a damaged cable remains in use, it can overheat, posing a risk of fire or thermal injury. No incidents or injuries have been reported at this time. Consumers should inspect their equipment for visible damage and contact GE Medical Systems for further guidance.
The acquisition module holder design may allow for incorrect placement, which causes the trunk cable to bend sharply and wear down over time. This wear can expose internal wiring, which may lead to electrical overheating and potential burns or fires during medical procedures.
