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 “4.3 Lin-
vatec and Hall
®
Surgical Instrument War-
ranty” on page 19 for more information on
product warranties.
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-
ing.
5. Never clean equipment in an ultrasonic
cleaner or a combination washer/sanitizer.
6. Saw blades and bits are single-use
only. Do not resterilize. Dispose of
properly after use.

13
3.1.2 Attachment Cleaning
Instructions
Clean attachments as soon as possible after use.
1. Remove the attachment from the handpiece
prior to cleaning.
2. Thoroughly scrub attachments with a clean,
soft brush dampened with a mild,
pH-balanced detergent. Remove all traces
of blood, debris and stains. Do Not
immerse equipment in soap solution or
rinse water.
3. Clean the cannulated section of the attach-
ment by performing the following:
(a) Feed the wire end of a cleaning brush
through the attachment.
(b) Pull the brush completely through the
attachment. Repeat until all debris is
removed.
4. Manipulate all moving parts of attachments
to ensure all debris is removed. If not, clean
again until all debris is removed.
5. Rinse attachments under running water to
remove all traces of soap.
6. Flush all surfaces free of tap water with dis-
tilled water to prevent metal discoloration.
7. Gently shake attachments free of water and
wipe the surfaces with a clean, lint-free
towel.

14
3.1.3 Sterilization Information
team sterilization is safe and effective and
has no contraindications for its use in ster-
ilizing attachments.
3.1.3.1 SterilizationWarnings,
Precautions and Notes
WARNING: The use of disinfecting solu-
tions for an exterior instrument wipe will not
sterilize equipment and is not recommended.
1. Do not sterilize attachments with Ethylene
Oxide (EtO).
2. Never sterilize in a washer/sanitizer,
STERIS System, STERRAD System,
Abtox Plazlyte™ or comparable steriliza-
tion methods.
3. Do not sterilize attachments in cold ster-
ilants like CIDEX.
4. Do Not “Peel Pack” attachments for steril-
ization. Sterilization in a sealed pouch traps
moisture which can cause damage.
5. Attachments with collet mechanisms must
be sterilized with the collet fully open .
6. Do not use attachments while warm. Allow
adequate time for cooling prior to surgery.
Do not immerse in liquid or cover with a
damp cloth to cool. Cool by exposure to
room temperature.
NOTES:
1. The following guidelines do not
guarantee that the device is sterile after
the procedure. Your institution is still
responsible for the normal sterility
assurance validation.
2. Additional drying time may be required
for complete heat and moisture dissipa-
tion. Operation of attachments that are
not completely cool or dry may decrease
performance and/or reliability.
3. Sterilization validation is based onAAMI
guidelines (Association for the Advance-
ment of Medical Instrumentation).
All attachments may be processed in a pre-vac-
uum steam sterilizer (Steam Pre-vacuum) or in a
gravity (downward) displacement sterilizer
(Steam Gravity). Place attachments in an appro-
priate instrument tray or a fully perforated,
wrapped container, when applicable.
PowerPro sterilization cases are sold separately.
Consult the sterilization guidelines on the fol-
lowing page or the information insert supplied
with that particular tray.

* CAUTION: The recommended dry cycle must be run on all attachments every time they
are sterilized. Failure to use a dry cycle may lead to reduced product performance or prema-
ture product failure. Operation of an attachment that is not completely cool and dry may
