Integra LifeSciences Recalls C7000 CUSA Clarity Ultrasonic Tissue Ablation System

Integra LifeSciences is recalling the C7000 CUSA Clarity Ultrasonic Tissue Ablation System because the 36 kHz Sterilization Tray does not meet the required dry time criteria.

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, and the hazard involves a procedural discrepancy in drying time rather than a direct, reported injury or high-risk pathogen, 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) system.

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 products were distributed in the United States and internationally. Users should contact the manufacturer for further instructions regarding the recall.
