LIFE SUPPORT POLICY

FAIRCHILDS PRODUCTS ARE NOT AUTHORIZED FOR USE AS CRITICAL COMPONENTS IN LIFE SUPPORT

DEVICES OR SYSTEMS WITHOUT THE EXPRESS WRITTEN APPROVAL OF FAIRCHILD SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION.

As used herein:

1. Life support devices or systems are devices or

systems which, (a) are intended for surgical implant into

the body, or (b) support or sustain life, or (c) whose

failure to perform when properly used in accordance

with instructions for use provided in the labeling, can be

reasonably expected to result in significant injury to the

user.

2. A critical component is any component of a life

support device or system whose failure to perform can

be reasonably expected to cause the failure of the life

support device or system, or to affect its safety or
effectiveness.
