link to a component failure or a production hazard. The device battery longevity varies

with the type and number of delivered therapies.

8. Legal requirements of jurisdictions where the INTENSIA device is distributed will

supersede any warranty conditions indicated in this manual that conflict with such laws.

23.2. ARTICLE 2 : TERMS OF REPLACEMENT

1. In case of INTENSIA failure because of a component failure, a production defect, or a

conception error, occurring within two-year period starting from the implantation date,

Sorin is committed to:

─ replacing free of charge the explanted device by a Sorin device with equivalent

features,

─ or issuing a replacement credit equal to the purchase price for the purchase of any

other Sorin replacement device.

2. After a two-year period and up to 4 years after the implantation, Sorin, because of limited

warranty terms, will issue a replacement credit to the buyer of an amount equivalent to

half of the initial purchase price minus prorata temporis during this two-years period.

3. In any case the credit issued by the limited warranty terms cannot exceed the purchase

price of a Sorin replacement device.
