Plain-English summary
Steris Corporation is recalling 5 GI4000 Electrosurgical Units due to a manufacturing defect in the controller circuit board. Two electronic diode components (D1 and D4) were placed in reverse orientation during manufacturing, which may cause premature wear of the power regulator.
If the power regulator fails during a patient procedure, the unit could lose all power output, resulting in a procedural delay. The affected units have the following serial numbers: 0032-0822-003, 0032-0622-009, 0032-0922-001, 0032-0822-001, and 0032-0082-002.
The units were distributed nationwide in Arizona, Illinois, Tennessee, and Virginia. Healthcare facilities that have received these units should stop using them immediately and contact Steris Corporation for replacement or repair instructions.
