**********************************************
For Feasibility Evaluation Only, in Laboratory/Development
Environments. The board is not a complete product. It is
intended solely for use for preliminary feasibility evaluation in
laboratory/development environments by technically qualified electronics
experts who are familiar with the dangers and application risks
associated with handling electrical mechanical components, systems and
subsystems. It should not be used as all or part of a finished end
product.
**Your Sole Responsibility and Risk.** You acknowledge, represent, and agree that:
You have unique knowledge concerning Federal, State, and local
regulatory requirements (including but not limited to Food and Drug
Administration regulations, if applicable) which relate to your products
and which relate to your use (and/or that of your employees, affiliates,
contractors or designees) of the board for evaluation, testing and
other purposes.
You have full and exclusive responsibility to assure the safety and
compliance of your products with all such laws and other applicable
regulatory requirements, and also to assure the safety of any activities
to be conducted by you and/or your employees, affiliates, contractors or
designees, using the board. Further, you are responsible to assure
that any interfaces (electronic and/or mechanical) between the
board and any human body are designed with suitable isolation and
means to safely limit accessible leakage currents to minimize the risk
of electrical shock hazard.
Since the board is not a completed product, it may not meet all
applicable regulatory and safety compliance standards which may normally
be associated with similar items. You assume full responsibility to
determine and/or assure compliance with any such standards and related
certifications as may be applicable. You will employ reasonable
safeguards to ensure that your use of the board will not result in
any property damage, injury, or death, even if the board should fail
to perform as described or expected.
**Certain Instructions.** It is important to operate the board
within Supplier’s recommended specifications and environmental
considerations per the user guidelines. Exceeding the specified
the board ratings (including but not limited to input and output
voltage, current, power, and environmental ranges) may cause property
damage, personal injury, or death. If there are questions concerning
these ratings please contact the Supplier representative before
connecting interface electronics including input power and intended
loads. Any loads applied outside of the specified output range may
result in unintended and/or inaccurate operation and/or possible
permanent damage to the board and/or interface electronics.
Please consult the System Reference Manual before connecting any
load to the board output. If there is uncertainty as to the load
specification, please contact the Supplier representative. During
normal operation, some circuit components may have case temperatures
greater than 60 C as long as the input and output are maintained at a
normal ambient operating temperature. These components include but are
not limited to linear regulators, switching transistors, pass
transistors, and current sense _resistors which can be identified using
the board schematic located at the link in the board System
Reference Manual. When placing measurement probes near these devices
during normal operation, please be aware that these devices may be very
warm to the touch. As with all electronic evaluation tools, only
qualified personnel knowledgeable in electronic measurement and
diagnostics normally found in development environments should use the
board.
**Agreement to Defend, Indemnify and Hold Harmless.** You agree to defend,
indemnify and hold the Suppliers, their licensors and their
representatives harmless from and against any and all claims, damages,
losses, expenses, costs and liabilities (collectively, "Claims")
arising out of or in connection with any use of the board that is
not in accordance with the terms of the agreement. This obligation
shall apply whether Claims arise under the law of tort or contract or any
other legal theory, and even if the board _fails to perform as
described or expected.
**Safety-Critical or Life-Critical Applications.** If you intend to
evaluate the components for possible use in safety critical
applications (such as life support) where a failure of the Supplier’s
product would reasonably be expected to cause severe personal injury
or death, such as devices which are classified as FDA Class III or
similar classification, then you must specifically notify Suppliers of
such intent and enter into a separate Assurance and Indemnity
Agreement.
