Para Systems Life Support Policy
As a general policy, Para Systems Inc. (Para Systems) does not recommend
the use of any of its products in life support applications where failure or mal-
function of the Para Systems product can be reasonably expected to cause
failure of the life support device or to significantly affect its safety or effective-
ness. Para Systems does not recommend the use of any of its products in
direct patient care. Para Systems will not knowingly sell its products for use in
such applications unless it receives in writing assurances satisfactory to Para
Systems that (a) the risks of injury or damage have been minimized, (b) the
customer assumes all such risks, and (c) the liability of Para Systems Inc. is
adequately protected under the circumstances.
Examples of devices considered to be life support devices are neonatal oxygen
analyzers, nerve stimulators (whether used for anesthesia, 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,
anesthesia ventilators, and infusion pumps as well as any other devices desig-
nated as “critical” by the United States FDA.
Hospital grade wiring devices and leakage current may be ordered as options
on many PARA SYSTEMS UPS systems. PARA SYSTEMS does not claim
that units with this modification are certified or listed as Hospital Grade by
PARA SYSTEMS or any other organization. Therefore, these units do not
meet the requirements for use in direct patient care.
After removing your MINUTEMAN UPS from its carton, it should be inspected
for damage that may have occurred in shipping. Immediately notify the carrier
and place of purchase if any damage is found. Warranty claims for damage
caused by the carrier will not be honored. The packing materials that your UPS
was shipped in are carefully designed to minimize any shipping damage. In the
unlikely case that the UPS needs to be returned to MINUTEMAN, please use
the original packing material. Since MINUTEMAN is not responsible for ship-
ping damage incurred when the system is returned, the original packing mate-
rial is inexpensive insurance.
PLEASE SAVE THE PACKING MATERIALS!
