STEUTE, a manufacturer of medical-grade foot switches based in Germany, has launched its new wireless foot-operated controls product. The unit features spread-spectrum, frequency-hopping technology, according to the company.
This short-range technology provides continuous monitoring of the bi-directional transmission path, a “handshaking” protocol to ensure device compatibility, and a floor sensor to protect against inadvertent operation, the firm said. The wireless foot controls can provide up to 14 digital and two analog control functions, and the charge level can be monitored to suit individual needs. Applications include cataract surgery systems, X-ray equipment, laser surgery devices, surgical microscopes, positioning tables, high-frequency surgical equipment, bone saws, dental systems and diagnostic camera systems.
