Why was Footswitch accessory to the CUSA Clarity Ultrasonic recalled?

A faulty footswitch may result in unintended ultrasonic fragmentation activation. There are two scenarios when the failure mode may occur: 1) Ultrasonic fragmentation may be inadvertently activated at start-up or at the initial use once the footswitch is connected to the console and after the user primes the system, performs a handpiece test, and enters the Main Screen. 2) Ultrasonic fragmentation may remain activated during surgical use once the foot pedal is disengaged slowly.
