oSYPKA

Headquartered in Berlin, Germany, Osypka Medical was founded in 1986 by a group of ambitious biomedical engineers. Under the leadership of the young entrepreneur Dr. Peter Osypka, the foundation for temporary pacemakers and pacing system analyzers was laid. In 2001, Osypka Medical expanded its perspective from the heart only, to heart and circulation. Motivated by Donald A. McDonald's statement in Blood Flow in Arteries (1960), "The discovery of a technically simple and nontraumatic way of estimating the output of the heart is something of an El Dorado.", Dr. Donald Bernstein's passion for hemodynamics, and Dr. Eberhard Gersing's expertise in bioimpedance measurements, Osypka Medical designed a line of completely noninvasive cardiometers, the AESCULON®, the ICON® and the ICONCore®.
