Design Differences of a Medical-Grade Foot Control
Posted in Videos, Webinars, MDB on
Tuesday, July 12 2011
As medical device OEMs know, a product designed for the medical market is fundamentally different from one intended for industrial use. This is also true for a foot control.
From the bottom floor contact pads to the mating connector, the basic design requirements for a medical-grade foot control are significantly different from those of an “industrial-grade” unit.
This Tech Talk examines these critical differences, and reviews the importance of addressing them to achieve optimal foot control performance and a favorable user experience.
