Smart wireless foot pedal: How to make one specific to medical equipment

Abstract

In this project, we will be developing a micro controller based wireless foot pedal system to be used along with medical equipment. Most of the surgical equipments will be controlled by the foot pedals. Most of the surgical equipment will be controlled by the foot pedals. The parameters such as pressure, vacuum, flow, ultrasonic power, drill speed etc will be controlled continuously by the foot pedal and the modes of operations of the equipment will be controlled by the push button switches of the foot pedal system. This foot switch is designed for use with variable speed motor drives.
