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
