Abstract:
A wireless foot control apparatus allows an operator to control multiple medical devices during an endoscopic medical procedure. The apparatus comprises a control console with controls designed for foot operation to control various medical devices. The controls include one or more foot pedals and foot switches to control the devices, including a selection switch to allow selection of the device to be controlled at a particular time. The console transmits signals over a wireless medium, to cause a remote receiver unit to select the device to be controlled and to control the selected device over a wired medium, in response to operation of the foot controls. The console may include a rechargeable battery, which may be sealed within the console's housing and charged inductively when the console is placed in a charging station. The receiver unit and the charging station can be separate units or integrated within a single housing.

Claim (Index 9):
The foot-operated control console system as recited in  claim 8 , wherein the receiver unit includes:\n a wireless receiver to receive the selection signal and the plurality of control signals via the wireless medium; a data communication device to transmit a plurality of controlling signals to the medical device over the wired communication medium, based on the plurality of control signals and the selection signal; and a controller to control the data communication device in response to the plurality of control signals and the selection signal, including generating the plurality of controlling signals based on the plurality of control signals so that the plurality of controlling signals are compatible with the medical device, as indicated by the selection signal.
