    Description

    GI4000 Electrosurgical Unit - intended to deliver electrosurgical outputs to perform cutting and/or coagulation and coagulation with or without delivery of argon gas, in flexible endoscopic applications. MODEL #(s): G1110001

    Reason

    Two electronic diode components (D1 & D4) placed in the reverse orientation on the controller printed circuit board assembly may result in premature wear of the power regulator, leading to the regulators failure which could cause a full power loss. If the regulator failure were to occur during a patient procedure, a procedural delay may result
