Integra C7000 CUSA Clarity System Recalled for Sterilization Tray Drying Defect

Integra LifeSciences is recalling the C7000 CUSA Clarity System because the 36 kHz Sterilization Tray does not meet the required 30-minute drying time.

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: This is an FDA Class II recall involving a procedural discrepancy in drying times for a sterilization tray. No injuries or illnesses are reported, and the hazard is related to equipment performance rather than direct patient harm, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity score.

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 associated Dutch OPS Manual (P/N 60905211).

The recall is being issued because the 36 kHz Sterilization Tray system does not meet the Dry Time Criteria for a 30-minute drying cycle. While the current CUSA Clarity Operators manual states 30 minutes as the minimum Dry Time for the 36 kHz Sterilization Tray and 36 kHz Components, 40 minutes is actually required for complete drying.

The affected products were distributed in the United States and internationally. Users of this equipment should contact the manufacturer for further instructions regarding the recall.
