3. The instructions for use shall contain at least the following information:
(a) the identity and contact details of the provider;
(b) the characteristics, capabilities and limitations of the high-risk AI system, including its intended purpose;
(c) the changes to the high-risk AI system and its performance where modified by the provider after being placed on the market;
(d) the human oversight measures referred to in Article 14;
(e) the computational and hardware resources needed, the expected lifetime of the high-risk AI system, and any necessary maintenance and care measures;
(f) a description of the mechanisms for logging as referred to in Article 12(1).
