Integra C7000 CUSA Clarity System Recalled for Sterilization Tray Drying Defect

Integra LifeSciences is recalling 820 C7000 CUSA Clarity systems because the 36 kHz Sterilization Tray fails to meet the 30-minute drying time criteria 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 between the stated drying time and the actual time required for complete drying, which is a procedural defect without reported injuries or illnesses in the source text.

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 Russian OPS Manual (P/N 60905775). The affected units were distributed in the United States and internationally in Singapore, Mexico, Canada, Japan, Australia, Colombia, Thailand, and Hong Kong.

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 actually required for complete drying.

Healthcare facilities and users of the C7000 CUSA Clarity System should stop using the affected sterilization trays and contact Integra LifeSciences Corp. for further instructions.
