LIFE SUPPORT POLICY
Pericom Semiconductor Corporation’s products are not authorized for use as critical components in life
support devices or systems unless a specific written agreement pertaining to such intended use is executed
between the manufacturer and an officer of PSC.
1) Life support devices or system are devices or systems which:
a) Are intended for surgical implant into the body or
b) Support or sustain life and whose failure to perform, when properly used in accordance with
instructions for use provided in the labeling, can be reasonably expected to result in a 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. Pericom Semiconductor Corporation reserves the right to make changes to its products
or specifications at any time, without notice, in order to improve design or performance and to supply
the best possible product. Pericom Semiconductor does not assume any responsibility for use of any
circuitry described other than the circuitry embodied in a Pericom Semiconductor product. The
