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 is due to a discrepancy in the CUSA Clarity Operators manual. The manual states that 30 minutes is the minimum dry time for the 36 kHz Sterilization Tray and components. However, 40 minutes are required for complete drying, meaning the system does not meet the Dry Time Criteria for a 30-minute cycle.
The affected products were distributed in the United States and internationally. Users should consult the recall notice for specific instructions on how to proceed.
