Clinical and Service Value

The FOOT SWITCH, 2SPST by GE Healthcare enhances clinical workflows by enabling hands-free operation of imaging systems, allowing technicians to maintain focus on patient care. This ergonomic design minimizes the need for manual controls, which can be particularly beneficial in busy clinical environments where efficiency and patient safety are paramount.

In terms of maintenance, the durable construction and strain relief feature of the footswitch contribute to its longevity, reducing the frequency of replacements and associated downtime. The ease of connection further streamlines the setup process, allowing for quick integration into existing systems and minimizing disruptions in service delivery.

Additional notes

The Footswitch Assembly consists of a pedal with Two SPST switches, cable, connector and labels for easy identification. This unit can be connected using the provided 7 conductor cable having a 6 pin circular connector at the end. A strain relief is provided for the transition of cable from connector, which helps to relieve stress from the cable and prevent it from breaking due to additional stress. Foot switch is used to start and stop the operations (touch control) and allow the technician to operate it with their feet. The switches inside the assembly have settling time less than 20 ms and contact resistance of less than 400 ohms. This footswitch assembly can be used with Optima CT520, Optima CT540, Optima 660, Revolution Evo and CT750HD Computed Tomography (CT) systems.
