What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II. The hazard is a labeling error regarding drying time, which is a documentation issue that may lead to temporary adverse health consequences if the equipment is not dried properly, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity recall.
Plain-English summary
Integra LifeSciences Corp. is recalling 820 units of the C7000 - CUSA Clarity Ultrasonic Tissue Ablation System. The recall involves the 36 kHz Sterilization Tray (C7136 Rev C / 72904491 Rev A) and the associated US Operations Manual (P/N 60905769). The devices were distributed in the United States and internationally to Singapore, Mexico, Canada, Japan, Australia, Colombia, Thailand, and Hong Kong.
The recall is due to a discrepancy in the drying time required for the 36 kHz Sterilization Tray and its components. The current CUSA Clarity Operator's manual states that a 30-minute drying cycle is the minimum required for complete drying. However, the system does not meet the Dry Time Criteria for a 30-minute cycle; 40 minutes is actually required for complete drying. This labeling error could result in incomplete drying of the sterilization tray components.
Healthcare facilities and users who have purchased or received these devices should stop using the affected sterilization trays and contact Integra LifeSciences for further instructions. The recall is classified as Class II by the FDA, indicating that use of or exposure to the violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.
