Product Swiss Medtech Expo 2021

Customised foot-switches

We manufacture and develop customised foot switches with cable or wireless, with the safe radio technology SW2.4LE-MED according to IEC 61508 in SIL3 and according to IEC 60601-1-2:2016.

The devices used by the various medical disciplines are becoming increasingly complex – as are their control functions. This is why there is a clear move towards customer-specific user interfaces. We are well prepared for this trend – with committed developers, a well-equipped R&D centre, high levels of expertise in various medical disciplines, flexible manufacturing and a comprehensive range of services across the entire course of a project.

We guarantee that our customers receive user interfaces which are ideally suited to their needs – to the environmental conditions, level of ergonomic comfort, design of medical device, range of actuators and ultimately the device operators themselves.


Safe wireless technology SW2.4LE-MED - State-of-the-art wireless standard for medical equipment

Signals are transmitted to the medical device via the third and latest generation of steute wireless technology. This technology features considerably reduced power consumption in conjunction with higher (and configurable) transmission performance. Although power consumption is low, the response time is very fast: signal transmission from an already activated foot control takes just 20 milliseconds.

The low-energy wireless technology used by the new steute user interfaces means that, for the first time ever, conventional alkaline batteries (e.g. AA or C) can be used instead of a lithium ion rechargeable battery. Batteries therefore no longer need recharging, eliminating both the charging devices and the charging management, which in turn reduces the costs.

The latest steute Meditec wireless technology works on the 2.4 GHz frequency band and can be used throughout the world universally and free of charge.
