APC

any of its products in life support applications where failure 
or malfunction of the 

APC

expected to cause failure of the life support device or to 
affect significantly its safety or effectiveness. 

APC

 does not 

recommend 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 American Power Conversion is 
adequately protected under the circumstances.

oxygen analyzers, nerve stimulators (whether used for anes-
thesia, 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, and infu-
sion pumps as well as any other devices designated as 
“critical” by the

tion may be ordered as options on many

 systems. 

APC

 does not claim that units with this modifications are 

certified or listed as Hospital Grade by APC or any other 
organization. Therefore these units do not meet the require-
ments for use in direct patient care.
