Reason for recall
The 36 kHz Sterilization Tray (C7136 Rev C / 72904491 Rev A) 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.
A sterility recall means a product that must be sterile, such as an injection or eye drop, may be contaminated. Using a non-sterile product can cause serious infection.
