Product Description and
Intended Use
The Stryker Wireless Universal footswitch system is a wireless remote-control
system that centralizes control of the various footswitch-operated devices found
in the operating room.
The iSwitch™ is intended for use in surgical procedures where footswitch-
operated devices, such as the Stryker TPS or SERFAS systems, are normally used.
The iSwitch™ consolidates the functions of these devices into one wireless
footswitch, freeing the operating room from excessive cables and foot controls.
The iSwitch consists of two main components:
1. A wireless footswitch, which provides pedals similar to those found on
other footswitches and transmits radio signals to a radio receiver console
2. A radio receiver console, which routes commands from the footswitch
to devices that connect to the receiver’s rear panel.
Each component and its functions are described in the following pages.
Note The iSwitch is a wireless footswitch designed to replace multiple
wired footswitches that surgeons are accustomed to using.
Operators should ensure that they are completely familiar and
comfortable with the operation of the device. Training may be
required before some operators are thoroughly familiar with how
to properly operate the footswitch. Users should be sure that they
have received adequate training before using this device in
surgical practice.
Note It is recommended to have a wired footswitch available in case of
electromagnetic interference problems with the wireless
connection.
This device includes RF transmitters and emits non-ionizing radiation.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation. See the “Electromagnetic Compatibility” section
of this manual for more information.
To prevent radio interference with any licensed service, this device is intended to
be operated indoors and away from windows to provide maximum shielding.
This device complies with FCC RF exposure limits set for indoor use only. Do
not co-locate this device in close proximity to another transmitter antenna.

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.

2. Button II (Mode Button): Selects which device the footswitch will
control. See the “System Settings” section of this manual for Mode
options.
Note Button/pedal function for all other buttons and pedals depends
on which operating-room device, or “mode,” is selected. See the
“Using the footswitch controls” section in this manual for device-
specific button functions.
