A foot-switch, pneumatic is a reusable pedal operated by compressed gas that allows a healthcare professional to control the activation or intensity of a connected medical device, such as a pneumatic surgical saw or wire driver, without using their hands. It is connected to the parent device via one or more hoses and relies on pressurized medical gas, such as medical air or nitrogen, to function.
Devices in this category are regulated as reusable medical devices and are typically supplied as accessories to pneumatic-powered surgical or therapeutic equipment. Their regulation depends on the intended use and risk profile of the parent device they control, and they are not standalone therapeutic or diagnostic tools.
