Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

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 60905216).

The recall is due to a discrepancy in the drying time requirements. The current CUSA Clarity Operators manual states that 30 minutes is the minimum dry time for the 36 kHz Sterilization Tray and components. However, the system does not meet the Dry Time Criteria for a 30-minute cycle, as 40 minutes is required for complete drying.

The affected products were distributed in the United States and internationally. Users should refer to the recall notice for specific instructions on how to proceed.
