Integra CUSA Clarity System Recalled for Inadequate Sterilization Tray Drying Time
Integra LifeSciences is recalling 820 C7000 CUSA Clarity systems because the 36 kHz Sterilization Tray requires 40 minutes to dry, not the 30 minutes stated in the manual.
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 involves a discrepancy in the stated drying time for sterilization trays, which is a procedural or labeling error rather than a direct structural defect or reported injury, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity score.
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 Italian OPS Manual (P/N 60905201).
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 as 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 refer to the recall notice for specific instructions on how to proceed with the correction.
