How to fix video interference in Steris gi4000 Medical Equipment?
- J
  Jennifer SanchezAug 4, 2025
  To minimize video interference with the gi4000, use only the power cord provided and ensure it is undamaged. Plug the power cord into a dedicated AC outlet, avoiding surge protectors and extension cords. Position the dispersive electrode away from patient ECG electrodes. Use shielded video cables and keep the generator away from video processing equipment. When not in use, disconnect the Active Cord and store it separately. Ensure cords for the gi4000 and accessories do not touch computer accessories, ECG leads, or power cables. Keep video cables separate from the Active Cord and power cords. If necessary, acquire shielded video cables or grounding cables from your endoscope manufacturer.

  If the gi4000 isn't powering on, ensure the power line cord is connected to both the AC mains connector on the rear panel (with the cord lock engaged) and the wall outlet. Check the fuses in the AC mains connector and verify the ON/OFF switch is in the correct position.

Why does backflow occur in the ArConnect® Receptacle of Steris gi4000?
- T
  Tiffany SingletonAug 13, 2025
  Backflow into the ArConnect® receptacle occurs if you disconnect the ArConnect® argon probe or argon probe from the gi4000 before the procedure is complete. The system constantly flows argon through the receptacle while connected. Disconnecting the probe while it remains in the endoscope causes backpressure and dripping through ArConnect®.

  To troubleshoot a weak argon beam, ensure the ArConnect® argon probe is fully connected to the gi4000. Inspect the probe for any damage. For easier insertion, lightly wipe the black O-ring with sterile water. Insert the probe into the ESU until you hear a click. Increase power in increments of two until the desired arc is achieved. Remember to purge and gauge the probe and scope distance to the tissue.

  Remove the argon gas bottle from the gi4000 by turning it counterclockwise. Inspect the brass threads for damage. If undamaged, wipe the threads with sterile water using gloved hands. Reinsert the bottle, turning clockwise firmly until fully engaged. Continue turning until the bottle is fully seated to prevent argon leaks.
