Integra LifeSciences is recalling the C7000 CUSA Clarity Ultrasonic Tissue Ablation System because the operator manual lists an incorrect minimum drying time for the 36 kHz Sterilization Tray.
The agency’s classification
FDA (Devices): Class II
Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.
This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).
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 (incorrect drying time in the manual) that could lead to incomplete drying, but no specific injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text.
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 Norwegian OPS Manual (P/N 60905788). The product was distributed in the United States and internationally.
The recall was initiated because the 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. This discrepancy could result in incomplete drying of the components.
Healthcare facilities and users of the C7000 - CUSA Clarity Ultrasonic Tissue Ablation System should stop using the affected sterilization trays and manuals. They should contact Integra LifeSciences Corp. for instructions on how to proceed with the recall and obtain corrected documentation.
