INTRODUCTION
t is recommended that personnel study this
manual before attempting to operate, clean
and/or sterilize the Hall
®
PowerPro
®
Bat-
tery Charger (PRO3600), batteries and accesso-
ries. The safe and effective use of this equipment
requires the understanding of and compliance
with all warnings, cautionary notices and
instructions marked on the product, and
included in this manual and any associated
information insert.
1.1 Intended Use
he PowerPro Battery Charger is used to
charge all PowerPro batteries, which
includes the Sterile Transfer Batteries
(PRO3115) and the Standard Large (PRO3010)
and Small (PRO3020) Battery Packs, with or
without the use of the SureCharge™ Steriliza-
tion/Charging Case.
The Sterile Transfer System requires that only
the Sterile Transfer Battery Case (PRO3110) be
sterilized, not the battery. The battery only needs
to be cleaned, and then charged using the Sterile
Transfer Platform (PRO3135). This eliminates
the loss of charge in the battery due to the
extreme heat of the sterilization environment.
Once charged, the battery is transferred into the
sterile battery case within the surgical field.
Standard batteries may be charged prior to ster-
ilization by placing the battery pack directly on
the battery charger. Or, they can be charged
after sterilization by placing them in the Sure-
Charge Sterilization/Charging Case. Charging
the battery packs after sterilization prevents a
loss of charge in the battery due to the extreme
heat of the sterilization environment, thus allow-
ing for longer use during surgery. When battery
packs are charged after sterilization, they can
either be transferred to the sterile field via the
use of the SureCharge Sterilization/Charging
Case or stored ready for use.
