Inspire Medical Systems Limited Warranty

Summary
Inspire provides a limited warranty against defects. The warranty period for implanted products is 3 years. All other products have a warranty period of 2 years or less. The warranty information below is intended for doctors (referred to as physicians in the warranty), but is included here for reference. Ask your doctor if you have any questions. The information below takes precedence over the information contained in this Summary.
Inspire Medical Systems’ products consist of Implantable Pulse Generators (IPG), tools to connect the IPG to implantable leads, leads, Inspire Sleep Remotes, and physician programmers.

1. EXCLUSION OF WARRANTIES, NO WARRANTIES FOR TOOLS. The implied warranties of MERCHANTABILITY and fitness for a particular purpose and all other warranties, express or implied with regard to tools are EXCLUDED from any transaction and shall not apply. Inspire Medical Systems will not be liable for any damages, whether direct, consequential, or incidental caused by tool defects, failures, or malfunctions, whether such claims are based on warranty, contract, tort or otherwise. No person has any authority to bind Inspire Medical Systems to any representation or warranty with respect to tools. You may have other rights, which vary from state to state. If one or more of the provisions of this exclusion of warranties for tools shall be deemed void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue to have full force and effect.
2. LIMITED WARRANTY FOR PRODUCTS OTHER THAN TOOLS. This limited warranty is available if products other than tools fail to function within normal tolerances due to defects in materials or workmanship that manifest during the specified warranty period.

During the operational life of an IPG, battery energy is consumed to monitor the patient’s breathing and provide therapy. On the basis of individual patient physiology, certain patients may require more frequent therapy, thus requiring replacement of the IPG in less than the warranty period shown below. This is considered normal for those patients and not a malfunction or defect in the IPG. If the purchaser complies with the Terms and Conditions, Inspire Medical Systems will issue a limited warranty toward the purchase of a new Inspire Medical Systems IPG product. The limited warranty credit amount will be the full purchase price of either the original unit or the replacement unit, whichever is less.

Inspire Medical Systems Limited Warranty

• For patient products, for example, IPG, lead, Inspire Sleep Remote, Inspire Medical Systems will issue a credit to the hospital conducting replacement surgery on behalf of the original patient. Any cost reductions extended as a result of this warranty shall be fully and accurately reflected on the patients’ bill and reported to that applicable payor using the appropriate methodology.
• For physician products, for example, physician programmer, Inspire Medical Systems will issue a credit to the original purchaser of the product.
