Electro Medical 200 Foot Switch Bard System 5000 PowerPlus Electrosurgical 4-Pin

Electro Medical 200 Foot Switch Bard System 5000 PowerPlus Electrosurgical 4-Pin

The Electro Medical Systems Model 200 is a dual-pedal explosion-proof foot switch designed for use with electrosurgical generators such as the Bard System 5000 PowerPlus. It features two independently actuated pedals — labeled CUT and COAG — allowing the surgeon to select the active electrosurgical mode hands-free during a procedure. Built to UL standards for medical equipment in hazardous locations, the Model 200 carries an explosion-proof rating suitable for operating room environments where flammable anesthetic agents may be present.

Applications

Electrosurgical foot switches give surgeons hands-free control over the active electrode during procedures, enabling the surgeon to switch between CUT (cutting current) and COAG (coagulation current) modes without interrupting the operative field. The Model 200's explosion-proof Class I Group C & D rating was specifically required for older operating rooms where flammable anesthetic gases (such as cyclopropane, diethyl ether, and ethylene) were in use — a standard that dates from the mid-20th century era of inhalation anesthesia in the U.S. While modern OR suites primarily use non-flammable agents, explosion-proof surgical accessories remain specified in some facilities and retrofit scenarios. This foot switch is designed to interface with the Bard System 5000 PowerPlus electrosurgical generator via its 4-pin MilSpec connector and interconnect cable.
