Life support policy
American Power Conversion Corporation (APC) and its affiliates and subsidiaries worldwide 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 customer assumes all risks and signs the APC System Configuration and Use
Form, and
c. The customer and operators of the APC UPS system agree to indemnify and hold APC and
its affiliates and subsidiaries harmless for any and all claims arising out of the systems use in
such applications.
Examples of life-support devices include, but are not limited to, neonatal oxygen analyzers, nerve
stimulators (whether used for anaesthesia, pain relief, or other purposes), auto-transfusion 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.
