STATEMENT OF INTENDED USE
The medical UPMs are intended to protect medical, non-medical computer
equipment and medical devices that need battery backup, surge protection,
voltage regulation and line noise filtering in and around patient care areas.

en by users. Please observe the following precautions. Not following these
could result in warranty being voided.
NOTE:
• The UPM is intended for stationary use.
• UPM is not intended for patient contact or for installation that will cause
accidental contact of patients.
• Do not use this UPM for life support applications in which a malfunction
or failure of the UPM system could cause failure or significantly alter
the performance of a life-support device.
•
Do not use this UPM near or around flammable gases. Do not use this
UPM within oxygen-enriched atmospheres.
