Emergency department nurse grabbed a ge macvu 360 ecg machine to use on patient for a 12 lead analysis.She touched the acquisition cable and it was hot and began to melt.This resulted in a superficial burn on her finger.This prompted an inspection of the remaining 3 machines in their department and a second machine with a melted cable was found.From there it prompted an internal inspection of this cable on our entire fleet of this model.We found 6 more cables that were bulging in the place where the other two melted.Ref report: mw5148058, mw5148059, mw5148060.
