Life Support Policy/Warranty

Life Support Policy

American Power Conversion Corporation, its afﬁliates and subsidiaries world-wide, (“APC”) do not

recommend the use of any of their products in life support applications where failure or malfunction

of the APC product can be reasonably expected to cause failure of the life support device or to

signiﬁcantly affect its safety or effectiveness. APC does not permit the use of any of its products in

direct patient care. APC will not knowingly sell its products for use in such applications unless the

life support system or direct patient care device is part of a whole facility/building into which the

UPS is integrated and unless APC receives in writing assurances satisfactory to APC that: (a) the

UPS system will be conﬁgured in a manner that will provide N+1 power redundancy to the critical

load (b) the end-user assumes all risks and signs the APC System Conﬁgurations and Use Form, and

afﬁliates and subsidiaries harmless for any and all claims arising out of the systems use in such

applications.

Examples of devices considered to be life support devices include, but are not limited to, neonatal

oxygen analysers, nerve stimulators (whether used for anaesthesia, pain relief, or other purposes),

autotransfusion devices, blood pumps, deﬁbrillators, arrhythmia detectors and alarms, pacemakers,

hemodialysis systems, peritoneal dialysis systems, neonatal ventilator incubators, ventilators for both

adults and infants, anaesthesia ventilators, infusion pumps, and any other device designated as

“critical” by the U.S.F.D.A.

Hospital grade wiring devices and leakage current may be ordered as options on many APC UPS

systems. APC does not claim that units with this modiﬁcation are certiﬁed or listed as Hospital Grade

by APC or any other organization. Therefore these units do not meet the requirements for use in

direct patient care.
