Integra CUSA Clarity System Recall for Sterilization Tray Drying Time Error

Integra LifeSciences is recalling the C7000 CUSA Clarity System because the Polish OPS Manual incorrectly states the minimum drying time for the 36 kHz Sterilization Tray.

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 a Class II recall involving a documentation error in the operator's manual regarding sterilization drying times. It is classified as Moderate because it is a labeling/documentation issue without reported injuries or illnesses.

Integra LifeSciences Corp. is recalling the C7000 - CUSA Clarity Ultrasonic Tissue Ablation System. The recall is limited to the Polish OPS Manual (P/N 60905785) distributed in the United States and internationally.
