A New Voler Systems Case Study

Gravity-Defying Success: FDA Approval Journey of an Innovative Anti-Gravity Treadmill

Customer Introduction

AlterG was a startup company designing an anti-gravity treadmill that provides air pressure to lift most of a person's weight off their feet, so they can exercise when injured or they can exercise longer.

Problem/Goal

• The unit was getting reset by static discharges created by the air blower.
  
  The circuit seamlessly interfaces to motors and fans running on 220 VAC and delicate sensors measuring force and pressure.
  
  
• The company lacked senior electrical engineering skills.
  
  Isolate electrical issues to ensure reliable, consistent operation of the unit.
  
  
• The unit must meet medical requirements for electrical isolation, emissions, immunity, safety, and verification testing.
  
  The anti-gravity treadmill was sold to professional teams and athletes, but the company wanted to expand its usage to appropriate medical and therapeutic applications. It had to be classified as a class II medical device and pass FDA requirements to do so.
