Integra C7000 CUSA Clarity System Recalled for Inadequate Sterilization Tray Drying Time
Integra LifeSciences is recalling 820 C7000 CUSA Clarity Ultrasonic Tissue Ablation 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 procedural discrepancy in drying time for sterilization trays, which is a low-risk contamination or labeling issue without reported injuries or illnesses, fitting the Moderate severity criteria.
Plain-English summary
Integra LifeSciences Corp. is recalling 820 units of the C7000 - CUSA Clarity Ultrasonic Tissue Ablation System. The recall is due to a discrepancy in the drying time required for the 36 kHz Sterilization Tray (C7136 Rev C / 72904491 Rev A) and its components.
The current CUSA Clarity Operators manual states that 30 minutes is the minimum dry time for the 36 kHz Sterilization Tray and components. However, the system does not meet the Dry Time Criteria for a 30-minute cycle; 40 minutes is required for complete drying. This issue is associated with the Russian OPS Manual, P/N 60905203.
The affected units were distributed in the United States and internationally to Singapore, Mexico, Canada, Japan, Australia, Colombia, Thailand, and Hong Kong. The source text does not specify specific actions for consumers or healthcare providers beyond the recall notice.
