Life-Support Policy

General policy

American Power Conversion (APC) does not recommend the use of any of

its products in the following situations:

• 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 affect significantly its safety or effectiveness.

• 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 American Power Conversion is adequately protected

under the circumstances.

Examples of life-support devices

The term life-support device includes but is not limited to neonatal oxygen

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

adults and infants), anesthesia ventilators, infusion pumps, and any other

devices designated as “critical” by the U.S. FDA.

Hospital-grade wiring devices and leakage current protection may be

ordered as options on many APC UPS systems. APC does not claim that

units with these modifications 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.
