OLICY

As a general policy, APC does not recommend the use of any of its products in life support applica-

tions where failure or malfunctions 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 recom-

mend the use of any of its products in direct patient care. APC will not knowingly sell its products

for use in such applications unless it receives in writing assurances satisfactory to APC that (a) the

risks of injury or damage have been minimized, (b) the customer assumes all such risks, and (c) the

liability of APC is adequately protected under the circumstances.

Examples of devices considered to be life support devices are neonatal oxygen and analyzers, nerve

stimulators (whether used for anesthesia, 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,

anesthesia 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.
