Integra LifeSciences Recalls C7000 CUSA Clarity Ultrasonic Tissue Ablation Systems
Integra LifeSciences is recalling 820 C7000 CUSA Clarity systems because the German OPS Manual incorrectly states the minimum dry time for the 36 kHz Sterilization Tray.
The agency’s classification
FDA (Devices): Class II
Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.
This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).
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, but the hazard is a documentation error regarding drying times rather than a direct structural defect or reported injury, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity labeling/documentation issue.
Plain-English summary
Integra LifeSciences Corp. is recalling 820 units of the C7000 - CUSA Clarity Ultrasonic Tissue Ablation System. The recall involves the German OPS Manual (P/N 60905772) distributed with the devices.
The recall was initiated because the 36 kHz Sterilization Tray system does not meet the Dry Time Criteria for a 30-minute drying cycle. The current CUSA Clarity Operators manual states 30 minutes for the minimum Dry Time for the 36 kHz Sterilization Tray and 36 kHz Components, but 40 minutes is required for complete drying.
The affected units were distributed in the United States and internationally. Users should contact the manufacturer for instructions on how to correct the manual or obtain a replacement.
