Interface Protocols; Economic Life Time - h/p/cosmos 150/50 Operating And Service Manual

technical data
All other systems and devices which are not in the above stated list must not be connected to h/p/cosmos running machines.
Please contact service@h-p-cosmos.com for the latest updated list of compatible devices and systems in writing. Only
connect and/or use accessories, software and host equipment if it is approved as compatible by all manufacturers.
Noncompliance with this clause can lead to serious injury or death. Furthermore, manufacturer warranty and liability expires.
Pay attention to all operating instructions, safety notes, warnings and precautions in this manual. Pay special attention to all
instructions for operation, maintenance and service in all accessories and/or software manuals.
Accessory equipment connected to the analogue and digital interfaces must be certified according to the respective IEC
standards, e.g. IEC 950, IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-1.
Everybody who connects additional equipment to the signal input port or signal output port or via any other linkage
possibility, and/or when putting a company sign/logo/mark on a medical device, configures a medical system, thereby
becoming the manufacturer of this new device/system and is therefore responsible that the system complies with the
requirements of IEC 60601-1-1.
Please pay special attention also to article 12 of Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC:
If the equipment is used in the field of medicine, all connected devices and host equipment must be linked with potential
equalization cables. First connect the potential equalization cable with the corresponding potential equalization plug pin (next
to the main switch on the front of the h/p/cosmos device), then connect the entire medical system to the main potential
equalization terminal of the medical room and then connect the mains voltage power plug of the medical system.
More recent computers will have only an USB interface instead of the RS232 interface.
In that case an „USB to RS232 interface adapter cable" is available at h/p/cosmos under item no. [cos12769].
To control via USB interface, a processor Pentium 1.8 GHz or higher is required.

11.7 Interface protocols

h/p/cosmos has only approved the interface protocol "coscom v3" for medical applications according to MDD / directive
2007/47/EC, EN 62304, EN 14971, mandatory since March 21, 2010.
All other interface protocols (older versions coscom v2, coscom v1, coscomekg.dll, protocols of other treadmill
manufacturers, etc.) are no longer validated by h/p/cosmos according to the norms EN 62304 and EN 14971 and must not
be used for medical applications (e.g. ergometry, stress-tests, cardiorespiratory diagnostic, performance diagnostic, etc.)
since March 21, 2010 in connection with h/p/cosmos treadmills or h/p/cosmos OEM treadmills, except where explicitly
approved and confirmed in writing by h/p/cosmos and the respective manufacturer!
The support for all older coscom files (including coscomekg.dll version 1.00 and coscom.dll version 1.2.9 and also including
®
coscom v2) ended on 31 December 2010. Please upgrade to the new coscom v3 .NET Objects and coscom v3 .NET
Controls.
Please note also that the older versions of coscom v1 and coscom v2 are not designed and not documented based on IEC
EN 62304:2006 medical device software - software life cycle processes. Therefore since March 21, 2010 it has been
obligatory to upgrade to h/p/cosmos coscom v3 in order to stay compatible with the latest norms, latest safety standards and
regulatory issues when connecting to h/p/cosmos medical treadmills.
We strongly recommend updating to the latest h/p/cosmos coscom v3 interface protocol. The latest coscom.dll and
implementation notes can be found on www.coscom.org. In case you have any questions please contact
service@h-p-cosmos.com

11.8 Economic life time

The economic life time of the product is considered to be 20 years with normal usage and application, provided that after 10
years all electrical parts and components are renewed (if damaged or extremely heavily used possibly earlier) and the
recommended maintenance intervals are kept. Every maintenance and repair work is to be carried out by authorized
h/p/cosmos technicians. A shorter life time may be expected for wear and tear parts.
