Original Press Release:
Fully-Compliant "Wireless" Foot-Operated Controls
Elmsford, New York, January 6, 2004 ... STEUTE is pleased to announce the introduction of their new, fully-compliant (CE, TÃœV, UL) "wireless" foot-operated controls. Each of these custom-designed units features their proprietary BlueTooth(TM) module to achieve safe, interference-immune performance.
This short-range technology (up to 10 meters) provides continuous monitoring of the integrity of the bi-directional transmission path; a unique "handshaking" protocol to ensure discrete, device compatibility; and a "location sensor" to protect against inadvertent operation. Hence multiple or different foot controls can be operated in parallel, and in close proximity, without crosstalk or interference.
The wireless foot controls can provide up to 14 digital and 2 analog control functions. Requiring power of only 2.9 to 3.4 V at 150mA, the foot controls are powered by rechargeable batteries that provide more than 20 hours of operation between recharging. Charge level can be monitored to suit individual needs ... from a simple digital or analog display to an audible low-charge alarm signal.
Typical applications include x-ray equipment, laser surgery devices, surgical microscopes, positioning tables, high-frequency surgical equipment, bone saws, dental systems, and diagnostic camera systems.
