In the field of medical equipment, there are some particularly good reasons for using wireless controls such as footswitches. Hygiene requirements are very strict, and cables and connectors are difficult to clean. In addition, the steadily growing number of diagnostic, treatment and surgical devices used in consultation rooms and operating theatres has resulted in a cable clutter and positioning which are detrimental to comfort. More dangerously, the cables can be a tripping hazard. However, the use of wireless technologies is a challenge, especially in hospitals, where their uninterrupted, completely reliable and accurate functioning must be guaranteed.
