How is modality switched on the L-hook?

The modality on the L-hook is switched by pressing the gray paddle. This design feature allows for an intuitive and accessible way to change settings or modes, ensuring that the user can swiftly adjust to the desired function when needed, which is crucial during clinical operations where efficiency and speed are paramount. The gray paddle is strategically placed for easy access, enhancing the usability and ergonomics of the device.

Other methods, such as pressing buttons or turning dials, are typical for other devices but do not specifically relate to the L-hook's operational design. The choice of a paddle mechanism is aimed at providing a straightforward interaction point that minimizes the risk of accidental modulation changes, thus ensuring safe and effective use of the device in various medical scenarios.
