Integra C7000 CUSA Clarity System Recall for Drying Time Discrepancy

Integra LifeSciences is recalling C7000 CUSA Clarity systems because the operator manual lists a 30-minute drying time, but 40 minutes are required for complete drying.

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 documentation error regarding drying times, which is a low-risk contamination or labeling issue without reported injuries, fitting the Moderate severity criteria.

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.
