Safety precausions for connecting additional devices

Running machine set-up see option 20 (for COM1) or option 21 (for COM2). Read the running- machine manual in detail. Pay special attention also to the warning, safety notes and system requirements in the manuals of the software and hardware manufacturers of the peripheral devices. E & OE. Subject to alterations without prior notice.

 

Accessory equipment connected to analog and digital interfaces must be certified according to the respective EMC and IEC standards, e.g. IEC 950 for data processing equipment and IEC 601-1 for medical equipment. Furthermore all configurations shall comply with the valid version of the system standard IEC 601-1-1. Sports running-machines must not be connected to ECG devices or other medical devices. Always use IEC 601-1 approved potential isolation components when linking medical devices via interface.

 

Everybody who connects additional equipment to the signal input port or signal output port configures / manufactures a medical system, and is therefore responsible that the system complies with the requirements of the valid version of the EMC and system standard IEC 601-1-1. (MDD: 13.6.c, IEC 601-1: 6.8.2.c, 19.2.b, 19.2.c)

 

Latest Computers have USB interface instead of RS 232. For control via USB interface an optional converter is available at h/p/cosmos. For control via USB interface the processor must be Pentium 1.8 GHz or higher.

 

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 at 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.

  Interface compatibility

 
h/p/cosmos only approves the interface protocol „coscom v3“ for medical applications and herewith confirms the -since March 21, 2010 (MDD / Directive  2007/47/EC) mandatory- conformity of coscom v3 according to the norms EN 62304 (Life Cycle Requirements for Medical Device Software; Medical Device Software Life Cycle Processes) and EN 14971 (risk management for medical devices) as well as the compliance to a very high safety standard.

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 connection with h/p/cosmos treadmills or h/p/cosmos OEM treadmills!

We strongly recommend to update 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
