The Footswitch
The footswitch rests on the operating-room floor and provides foot control of all
devices connected to the iSwitch system. The footswitch houses three buttons
and two pedals, which enable the user to alternate between operating-room
devices and perform device-specific functions. When a button or pedal is pressed,
the footswitch transmits a radio signal to the receiver, where the command is then
routed to the appropriate device.
The footswitch and its features are described in Figure 1 below.

on which operating-room device, or "mode, " is selected. See the
"Using the footswitch controls" section in this manual for device-
specific button functions.
