1.3 Calibration cycles

GeBioM recommends regular calibration of the measuring system, at least once a year. If the system is used almost daily, the calibration should be repeated more often. The calibration is carried out by GeBioM. The Users is, however, obliged to update the calibration file after a new calibration.

You can find the current calibration file for your measuring system on our homepage www.gpsupport.de atDownloads à Calibration files

Simply enter the serial number of your pressure measuring plate in the search field (e.g. B24D027). Then download the corresponding file and copy it into the "KAL" folder of your software.

The serial number can be found on the label on the front.

1.2 Intended use

The target user group for the systems is not made up of end users, but of specialist groups (engineers, orthopaedic (shoe) technicians, biomechanics specialists, trainers, etc.) from the various sectors:

  • Orthopaedic (shoe) technology
  • Sport
  • Science

The user of the GeBioM pressure distribution measuring systems is always given an introduction when the systems are delivered, e.g. online or on site. This includes basic handling of the systems, exclusion criteria for certain measurement situations (e.g. do not use sharp objects, etc.) and an introduction to the evaluation options of the respective system. The specialist knowledge required to analyse the results is assumed. The devices cannot be used contrary to their intended purpose according to normal judgement. The measures taken by the user based on the respective measurement results are always subject to his personal expertise and philosophy.

The systems are designed in such a way that the respective test person (in industry usually employees of the respective department, in sales consulting the customer, in orthopaedic (shoe) technology the customer/patient) is not significantly influenced by the movement of the measuring sensors. The subject merely walks across the measurement field.

Important:          Make sure that the measuring foil is not damaged by sharp objects.
objects is loaded. This could cause the sensors to malfunction.

1.1 General information

With the pressure measurement system GT IMPAX you can record the plantar pressure load when walking barefoot.

The pressure data from the measuring platform is sent directly to your PC, either via WLAN or USB, where it is stored and analysed. The measuring platform has 2,304 pressure sensors spread over a measuring area of 38 cm x 38 cm. The maximum measuring frequency is 200 Hz.
