What Is the OEC 6800 Wired Foot Switch (00-878444-02)?
Product: OEC 6800 Wired Foot Switch
Part Number: 00-878444-02
The OEC 6800 Wired Foot Switch (00-878444-02) is the foot-operated exposure control switch for the OEC 6800 mini C-arm. The foot switch allows the clinician to initiate and control fluoroscopic exposure hands-free — a critical workflow feature in sterile surgical and procedure environments where maintaining hand sterility prevents direct contact with the C-arm control panel during imaging. The wired foot switch connects directly to the OEC 6800 via its dedicated cable, providing reliable exposure triggering without the latency or connectivity concerns of wireless alternatives. Replacement is indicated when the switch fails to trigger exposure reliably, when the cable is damaged, when the switch housing is cracked or broken, or when the pedal mechanism no longer actuates cleanly. This is a direct hardware swap with no configuration required after installation. Compatible with the OEC 6800 only. Call (800) 643-2998 with your serial number to confirm fit before ordering.

Why is a foot switch important in a surgical imaging environment?+
In sterile surgical and procedure environments, the clinician's hands must remain sterile throughout the procedure. The foot switch allows fluoroscopic exposure to be initiated without touching the C-arm control panel, eliminating the need to break sterility or rely on a separate non-sterile operator to trigger imaging. A reliable, responsive foot switch directly supports procedural efficiency and radiation dose management by giving the clinician precise control over when exposures occur.
What are the signs that the foot switch on my OEC 6800 needs replacement?+
Common signs include the switch failing to trigger exposure when pressed, intermittent or unreliable exposure activation, the pedal feeling loose or not clicking into position, visible cable damage such as fraying or kinking near the connector ends, and physical cracking or breakage of the switch housing. Any of these symptoms warrant prompt replacement as an unreliable foot switch directly affects procedural workflow and radiation dose control.
