Hocoma

Products: rehab-exoskeleton. Risk band: Low   RobotRisk index 8.7/100 (incidents/exposure, time-weighted) · 89th percentile of 162 medical robotics companies.

Analyst brief

Hocoma's record in the medical-robotics category holds two entries: a 2015 report of a proximal tibia fracture in a spinal-cord-injury patient associated with robotic rehabilitation, and a 2020 FDA Class II recall of the Lokomat Pro system. The two events differ in type and severity, an injury rated 2 and a recall rated 3, showing a pattern that spans both a documented adverse event and a subsequent regulatory correction on the same product line. The index of 8.8 and 89.4 percentile place Hocoma in the low band across this five-year span. The record combines an injury report with a regulator-driven recall, rather than resting on a single source type.
