From PH p. 226

Healing Surge: You begin with one use of the
power per day, like a daily power. You can renew this
item’s power by taking a standard action to funnel
your vitality into the item, spending a healing surge
in the process. Spending a healing surge in this way
doesn’t restore hit points, and this standard action is
separate from the action required to activate the item’s
power.


So to answer abyssaldeath question, no I do not think that the item uses an allotment daily use, I think that it functions like an at-will or encounter item power, just with the stipulation that you need to burn a healing surge to recharge it.

I respectfully disagree. As you quoted above "Healing Surge: You begin with one use of the power per day, like a daily power."

To me that pretty clearly says that they function like Daily powers. So in my campaign they ARE Daily Powers, but with the benefit of a recharge mechanism.

But it is most definitely NOT the only interpretation, and could benefit from some WotC clarification.

What it says is that it is like a daily power in that you start the day with one use of it. It does not say that it functions like a daily power in any other respect, and it doesn't make any reference to it functioning like a Daily Item Power at all.

And that's why I said it's not the only interpretation... :D
