GE Healthcare MAC VU360 ECG recalled for patient data mix-up risk

GE Healthcare recalled certain MAC VU360 electrocardiograph units running software v3.0. After the order refresh icon is selected, a preview or review screen may not close automatically after 2 minutes of inactivity, so data from a previous patient could stay on screen and be linked to the next patient. No injuries have been reported.
