Abstract: A test strip for measurement of a concentration of peracetic acids. The test strip including: a body; a test surface disposed on the body and configured to react with a liquid containing peracetic acids; and a coating covering at least the test surface.

Abstract: An apparatus for separating a single test strip from a test strip depot containing a plurality of test strips including: a stock containing the plurality of test strips; an output position for the single test strip; an outlet opening; and an output mechanism configured to output the single test strip positioned in the output position through the outlet opening upon activation of the output mechanism.

Abstract: A transport apparatus for transporting at least one test strip including: a gripper configured to grip a portion of the at least one test strip; wherein the gripper is arranged to move the test strip between at least a first dosing position and a second measuring position.

Abstract: An apparatus for measuring a concentration of reprocessing agents in a reprocessing liquid used in a reprocessing apparatus for medical instruments. The apparatus comprising: a measuring system; a first conduit for a hydraulic connection of the measuring system with a reprocessing circuit of the reprocessing apparatus; and a second conduit for a bypass connection of the measuring system into a reprocessing chamber of the reprocessing apparatus. The measuring system is configured to: receive a test strip with a test surface and to position the test strip in a first, dosing position and a second, measuring position; dose a predetermined amount of reprocessing liquid onto the test surface when the test strip is positioned in the first, dosing position; and measure the concentration of reprocessing agents in the reprocessing liquid when the test strip is positioned in the second, measuring position by evaluating the test surface, via an evaluating sensor.

Abstract: A reprocessing liquid feed system for dosing a predetermined amount of reprocessing liquid onto a test surface of a test strip including: a first directional control valve having two valve inlets and one valve outlet; and a second directional control valve having one valve inlet and two valve outlets for filling a specified volume with reprocessing liquid; filling the specified volume containing reprocessing liquid partially with air such that the specified volume is filled partially with remaining reprocessing liquid and partially with air; and dosing out the remaining reprocessing liquid in the specified volume onto the test surface of the test strip.

Abstract: A drying system for drying medical instruments including: a drying chamber configured to receive a medical instrument, a drying gas generation system for providing drying gas, a hose system including a hose through which the drying gas is discharged from the drying gas generation system, and a valve arranged in a wall of the drying chamber, the hose system is connected to the valve for the valve to provide the drying gas into the drying chamber. Wherein the valve is configured to discharge the drying gas exiting the valve into the drying chamber in a main flow direction.
