Dear customers,

In order to comply with all regulatory requirements and MDR medical device regulation (EU) 2017/745, h/p/cosmos performs regular PMS Post Market Surveillance, updated Clinical Evaluation Reports CER and ongoing Risk Management.
In the latest CER file update 2 additional contra-indications have been found in the evaluation of clinical data and literature and a few recommendations have been made, which are incorporated in this addendum of the original instructions for use.

The Medical Device Regulation (EU) 2017/745 gives pretty clear insights, definitions and answers to these important questions.

Thus, for all economic operators, manufacturers, importers, distributors, dealers, medical technicians, service engineers, customers and operators/users of medical devices it is essential to understand and obey these regulatory requirements.

The h/p/cosmos IFU instructions for use (operation manual) clearly states:

Arab Health 2022 opens today. For the next 4 days, Dubai will again be the buzzing spot for the medical and healthcare industry – not only for the MENA region but worldwide.

With outstanding final grades of 1.1 and 1.4 respectively, Alina Kretz and Jasmin Ramgraber completed their training as industrial clerks at h/p/cosmos sports & medical gmbh. Both received the Bavarian State Award for their excellent performances, that is awarded every year by the district offices in charge to vocational school graduates whose final grades are better than 1.5.

Managing Director Richard Schmidt, Senior HR Manager Nadine Schott and Trainer Martina Wimmer honoured both graduates in a ceremony for their outstanding performance and commitment.

Assistive walking devices are constantly gaining value in rehabilitation markets. The German Sports University Cologne recently published a study on non-electric assistive walking devices powered by a cam-spring mechanism, directly worn by orthopaedic and neurological patients.

The results indicate that patients benefit in terms of increased gait quality (step length, cadence and hip flexion improved during the assisted walking), while muscle activity stays unaffected by the assistive device.

When it comes to performance testing, h/p/cosmos treadmills are the tool of choice for most leading sports clubs, training facilities and universities around the globe. 

Speeding up or slowing down a treadmill, changing or lowering elevation can be difficult and distracting when running or cycling at higher speeds. To solve this, we developed an automatic speed and elevation control system for our treadmills based on the athlete’s position by combining the proven coscom protocol and the localization of the subject via Microgate Optogait/Optojump bars.

The system is called h/p/cosmos speedcontrol and we are looking forward to sharing further details and insights soon!

Professional performance testing takes place behind closed doors most of the time. One of the leading German YouTube channels “freekickerz” visited the UKE Athleticum in Hamburg and recorded in-depth insights to the procedures and analysis of such a performance test.
