applications in sports, rehabilitation, medicine, diagnostics and science. When it comes to technology, ergonomy, design and

safety, we have set extremely high standards for ourselves.

With the h/p/cosmos®parawalk®we want to make your work easier and give you and your patients the chance to achieve

your therapy results in a faster and more comfortable way.

If proper notice is taken to the safety regulations, the operation of your h/p/cosmos®device is almost without any risk. The

neglect of the safety regulations could result in dangerous situations and serious accidents. Therefore please read the

directions for use and the danger precautions before taking the device into operation.

Some simple maintenance and monitoring (no repair work!), as described, can easily be done or even has to be done by

yourself. All kinds of installation and repair work and most maintenance work are to be performed only by trained and

authorized technicians who have been certified by h/p/cosmos. The following symbols will indicate which work can be done

by the customer and which work has to be done by authorized technicians only:

The customer/user should perform this maintenance and monitoring work. Some safety checks or monitoring

have to be performed on daily basis. It is not expedient to contract certified technicians for such maintenance

work. However, where it is practical, all maintenance and monitoring work marked with this symbol can also

be performed by certified technicians.

All installation, maintenance, repair and monitoring work marked with this symbol must only be performed by

trained and authorized technicians who have been certified by h/p/cosmos. Customers / users must not

perform these kinds of tasks and work.

2Introduction

2.1 Description

easy and continuous adjustment with gas spring support

Whether in the gym, in the corridor or as a separate training system - walking

bars are the ideal complement to the available treatments. The individual

settings for height, width and angle of the handrails are crucial for best results,

and they have to be quickly and easily adjusted during a busy working day.

push the button

The h/p/cosmos parawalk®has integrated gas piston height adjustment.

Adjusting the height is child's play - even with just one hand. The width and

angle of the hand rails can be adjusted quickly by lifting the locking lever,

pushing the adjustment button for setting the height and after adjustment

locking the lever again - that's it.

reproducible settings with integrated scale

Once you have found the perfect setting for a patient you will want use this at

the next visit straight away. Therefore, the pillars of the h/p/cosmos parawalk®

have an integrated reading scale. With the help of the scale you can exactly

determine the current position and reproduce simply at the next training

session.

NThe system must not be used without carefully trained specialist staff and without the staff having been

instructed on the safety regulations.

NThe subject must interrupt the training immediately if he/she starts feeling sick or dizzy and should see a

doctor.

NSubjects with cardiac pacemakers or any kind of physical restriction must see a doctor before using the

system and ask for permission.

NIn the event of any detected and/or assumed malfunctions and/or defects or unreadable safety warning

labels, the device has to be taken out of operation, clearly marked as such and disabled. The supplier and

authorized service personnel have to be informed in writing.

NUnder no circumstances should a subject/patient or other user be overloaded or overstressed.

NAll prohibitions in the chapter “4 Safety notes, warnings, precautions".

NThe h/p/cosmos parawalk exercise machine is no gymnastic equipment in harmonisation of the norm

NIn the event that a user connects standard components to support, diagnose or appraise in terms of in-house

production according to the MPG (German Medical Devices Act), he creates a system and therefore has to

perform and verify a simplified conformity validation process.

Disregard of intended and forbidden use, safety notes, warnings and precautions, unauthorized or

lack of maintenance and / or regular safety checks may lead to injuries or even death and / or can

damage the device and will result in loss of any liability and warranty.

the device is repaired.

NBefore using the device, fix all four clamp levers.

4.4 During exercise

NThe h/p/cosmos parawalk must only be used under permanent supervision of medical staff.

NNever set too high loads if the health and the condition of the subject/patient do not permit and a medical doctor

has not authorized these loads. Disregard may cause injuries and dangerous health problems or even death.

Under no circumstances should the test person/subject/patient be overloaded.

NThe subject must interrupt training immediately if he/she starts feeling sick, dizzy or feels pain. The patient should

consult his/her doctor in this case.

NTake special care for your fingers around the gas pistons.

4.5 Machine care

In case of any detected and/or assumed malfunctions, defects or unreadable safety labels, the

device must be left immediately. The device must be marked as “out of order”. The supplier and

authorised service personnel are to be informed in writing immediately.

NAll wear and tear parts are to be replaced at least every two years or earlier if necessary due to first sign of wear

and/or damage.

NLock the four locking lever after positioning the bar handrails by

pushing the lever down.

NTo obtain reproducibility you have to determine the individually

optimal adjustments (see scaling at the gas pressure cylinders)

for each testing person and note it down appropriately (e.g. in a

patient file). We have deliberately refrained from giving you

standard settings for particular heights, because the adjustment

can widely differ according to the posture and the individual

situation of the testing person.

yourself. All kind of installation and repair work as well as most maintenance work is to be carried out only by trained and

authorized technicians who have been certified by h/p/cosmos. The following symbols will indicate which work can be done

by the customer and which work has to be done by authorized technicians:

The customer / user should perform this maintenance and monitoring work. Some safety checks or

monitoring (for examples of harnesses and ropes, running belt condition and position, etc.) have to be

performed on a daily basis. For this reason it is not practical to contract certified technicians for such tasks.

However, where it is practical, all maintenance and monitoring work marked with this symbol can also be

performed by certified technicians.

All installation, maintenance, repairs and monitoring work indicated with this symbol must only be

performed by trained, authorized technicians who have been certified by h/p/cosmos. Customers/users

must not perform these kinds of tasks.

We recommend calling our competent service team or entering into a maintenance contract for a routine service at an

interval of 6 or 12 months for standard machines and standard applications. A form for registration of your institution and

device is included in the delivery. In order to be able to supply you with the latest technical information and service, it is

important for you to fill out the form for registration immediately and send it back.
