FOOT CONTROLLER WITH INTERLOCK CIRCUIT

摘要

A foot controller (32) for use with ophthalmic surgical equipment (34) includes a foot controller (32) having a door (18). Door (18) covers a surgical switch (24) when door (18) is in a closed position, and door (18) is a shroud for a surgical switch (24) when door (18) is in an open position. A door-position sensor (48) disables activation of the surgical switch (24), except when the door is in an open position.
