MAINTENANCE
Regular and proper maintenance of your
Power-
Pro
attachments are the best way to protect your
investment. It is essential that you have your
powered surgical instruments serviced as sched-
uled so as to retain their optimum performance
and reliability, which will reward you with safer,
less problematic product performance over time.
The recommended maintenance interval for ser-
vice of your
PowerPro
attachments is every 24
months.
Proper care and handling of the instruments on a
day-to-day basis, which includes proper day-to-
day operation, cleaning, and sterilization, are
extremely important to ensure safe and efficient
operation.
Your authorized Hall Surgical service depart-
ment is the most knowledgeable about the
Pow-
erPro
attachments and will provide competent
and efficient service. Service at Hall Surgical at
the recommended service intervals is mandatory
to keep your product warranties in effect. Any
services and/or repairs done by any unautho-
rized repair facility may result in reduced per-
formance of the attachments or attachment
failure and is not recommended. See

vatec and Hall

3.1 Cleaning and Sterilizing
3.1.1 Cleaning Precautions
1. Follow universal precautions for protective
apparel when handling and cleaning con-
taminated instruments.
2. Do not lubricate any attachments.
3. Never immerse attachments.
4. Never clean attachments with
bleach, chlorine-based detergents, liquid or
chemical disinfectants, or any products con-
taining sodium hydroxide (such as
INSTRU-KLENZ or Buell Cleaner). They
will degrade the anodized aluminum coat-

cleaner or a combination washer/sanitizer.

only. Do not resterilize. Dispose of
properly after use.
