Subject to alterations without prior notice, errors and omissions excepted. E & OE. We wish you a lot of fun and success while exercising and working with your h/p/cosmos running machine. Franz Harrer President h/p/cosmos sports &...
A treadmill is an exercise machine for running or walking while staying in one place. The h/p/cosmos treadmill device is a stationary treadmill which is used for training and testing The medical versions can also be used for diagnostics and therapy applications.
Software products such as h/p/cosmos para graphics, h/p/cosmos para analysis and h/p/cosmos para motion are only for fitness applications. The h/p/cosmos para control software is also not for medical evaluation and diagnosis but for remote control of the treadmills load parameter and for maintenance issues.
230 x 105 x 140 cm (90.6 x 41.3 x 55.1 inches). Running surface of the model “h/p/cosmos pulsar” for example is 190 x 65 cm / 74.8 x 25.6 inches, frame size 250 x 105 x 140 cm (98.4 x 41.3 x 55.1 inches), machine’s weight approx. 400 kg (884 lbs), max. subject weight on running deck: 200 kg (440lbs).
(for example the h/p/cosmos airwalk) is obligatory for such applications. Automatic stop of the running belt in the moment a fall occurs. The chest belt secures the subject and prevents falling over to the front. The chest belt straps do not pinch or restrict the athlete.
All h/p/cosmos running machines have at least ONE electric emergency stop device, which result in the machine cutting off the main power of the motor and the inclination system without relying on any software functions.
This instruction manual is part of the device and must always be accessible for every user. Exact observance of the instruction manual is a requirement for the appropriate operation of an h/p/cosmos device. Holding the handrails during exercise may effect the exercise results (e.g. heart rate, ECG, EMG, oxygen uptake, etc.).
Patient security according to VDE 0750 (IEC 60601-1) type B R applied part [4.E2] If your h/p/cosmos device has a c mark with a 4-digit number (e.g. n) at the identification plate, it is a medical device. At your h/p/cosmos medical device the patient is protected/isolated from the mains in accordance with the safety standard referring to the requirements for leakage current values according to IEC 60601-1 applied part type B R.
[4.E4] If units installed outside medically utilized locations (e. g. external printer, host computer etc.) are connected to an h/p/cosmos unit installed in a medically utilized location the VDE 0750 regulations must be observed. Connection only via … 1. Optical fibre or optocoupler (4 kV checked and approved) or …...

For this reason always the worst case of a malfunction has to be taken into account. h/p/cosmos classifies the internal firmware and software components as Class B due to a number of risk reducing design features and measurments.
All other interface protocols (older versions coscom v2, coscom v1, coscomekg.dll, Trackmaster, Pacer, etc.) are not 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...
In case the manufacturer declares multiple sockets as valid, these have not to be located on the floor, to prevent soaking of liquids and mechanical damage. h/p/cosmos herewith informs about all above and below mentioned risks, warnings and obligations. Responsibility for system integration: The operator of ME equipment and ME systems (ME=medical-electrical), has to appoint a so-called system integrator, responsible for taking care of the tasks that result from the norm.
Safety standards, norms [4.K] All h/p/cosmos running-machines are produced according to strict safety- and quality controls. The running machine must not be used, if the certificates/permissions and the (according to the list of technical specifications) defined safety standards do not correspond with the local and country-specific requirements. The country-specific requirements must be compared before initial operation.
As a manufacturer it is h/p/cosmos’ duty, and as the distributor or end- user/operator of the running machine it is your duty, to minimize those dangers as far as possible.
Page 36
To reduce the risk for users, h/p/cosmos running machines have a gap of less than 4 mm and it is marked clearly with additional danger precaution stickers.

[5.A] All running-machines are built corresponding to the classes S,I,A based on EN 957-1 / EN 957-6. The indications, discussed in the following, can be treated by any h/p/cosmos treadmill version, although there are more or less recommended solutions. Professional application in sports and fitness (with c mark on nameplate) [5.A1]...
The manufacturer releases the medical product for the described applications and indications. Clinical studies are obsolete and have not been ordered by h/p/cosmos by now, since there is a huge amount of literature, over 50 years of experience in application worldwide and the performance data according to EN 957-6.
The h/p/cosmos treadmill is equipped with several load protocols that can be chosen in the “test-mode” (see chapter ”operation”). You also have the possibility to create a sef-defined profile, either using the “graded test” or the “free deinable user profiles”.
(not for sports machines; only for medical running machines with n mark on nameplate) The h/p/cosmos Kistler gaitway is an h/p/cosmos treadmill of mercury size, equipped with two Kistler force measurement plates; it is the only h/p/cosmos treadmill with these features. The system is measuring the ground reaction force and thereby collecting a huge amount of gait parameter.
(not for sports machines; only for medical running machines with n mark on nameplate) For neurologic application the h/p/cosmos locomotion with unweighting system airwalk se is the recommended solution. Neurologic gait therapy could be performed using any h/p/cosmos treadmill, but with less comfort.
Within Germany mostly all devices are delivered and assembled by h/p/cosmos directly or by an authorised forwarder. If delivered by h/p/cosmos the packaging will be taken back and recycled.
The levelling sockets and the front wheels of the elevation system may cause a print in the flooring. In case of sensitive flooring please use h/p/cosmos floor mats for protection: Floor protection mat 150/50 for running machines with deck size 150x50 cm [cos14005]...

Preventive maintenance [9.A] The h/p/cosmos authorised service engineers are happy to help you in the case of occurring problems. A preventive maintenance can avoid problems in the future and is indispensable for the safety of such technical devices. Therefore ask for an annual preventive maintenance contract, which is highly recommended by the manufacturer, from our service department.
Only a properly and regularly serviced device is safe. The maintenance of the devices has to be performed only by the service engineers authorized and certified by h/p/cosmos, preferrably within the scope of a maintenance contract. Regular inspections/examinations [9.C]...
An h/p/cosmos authorized technical service engineer will then advise what corrective action needs to be taken. Only use original h/p/cosmos special oil. The use of other oils or the ignoring of the regular lubrication checks can lead to damage of the running belt, running deck or the lubrication system and a reduction of warranty liability.
The tissue needs to be pulled through the gap between running belt and running surface in a defined lenght in order to absorb a certain quantity of lubricant. Based on previous experience h/p/cosmos is able to evaluate the quantity of the oil film by measuring the weight difference. However, it needs to be considered that this test can only find out approximate values and trends and can never replace the direct survey by the authorized h/p/cosmos technician in the prescribet time intervals.
Please contact h/p/cosmos to receive the special oil. The running belt should be lubricated after 1000 km (special devices might have different intervals) at the latest or/and after hearing dry grinding noises during operation. After lubrication the oil message has to be terminated with "OPTION 01".
Thus at those models a lubrication test (tissue-test) according the instruction (available from h/p/cosmos) must be performed in the course of the obligatory yearly maintenance. The test must be sent back to h/p/cosmos afterwards for evaluation purposes.
