Integra C7000 CUSA Clarity System Recall for Sterilization Tray Drying Defect

Integra LifeSciences is recalling the C7000 CUSA Clarity System 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 labeling error regarding drying time, which is a procedural issue rather than a direct structural defect or reported injury, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity voluntary precautionary recall.

Plain-English summary

Integra LifeSciences Corp. is recalling the C7000 - CUSA Clarity Ultrasonic Tissue Ablation System. The recall involves the 36 kHz Sterilization Tray (C7136 Rev C / 72904491 Rev A) and the Danish OPS Manual (P/N 60905209).

The recall is due to a discrepancy in the drying time requirements for the sterilization tray. 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, and 40 minutes is actually required for complete drying.

The affected products were distributed in the United States and internationally, including in Singapore, Mexico, Canada, Japan, Australia, Colombia, Thailand, and Hong Kong. Users should verify the drying time requirements for their specific equipment and refer to the updated instructions provided by the manufacturer to ensure proper sterilization.
