Hocoma

Robot types: Rehab exoskeleton. Risk band: Low   RobotRisk index 14.2/100 (severity- and time-weighted incidents) · ranked 19 of 25 among Medical robotics companies with incidents (274 tracked).

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 record combines an injury report with a regulator-driven recall, rather than resting on a single source type.
