Abstract: A medical manual instrument has an instrument body with at least one effector portion, at least one gripping portion and an RFID tag. The RFID tag is preferably a glass/ceramic tag housed in the instrument body in a recessed manner. A cut-out or an open section is formed in the instrument body in a region which is substantially force-free when actuating the manual instrument in an operation, in which cut-out or open section a separate recessed tag holder is housed. The holder fills the cut-out or the open section so as to be adapted to the shape of the manual instrument. The medical manual instrument can be part of a system that includes the medical manual instrument and a reader that can be coupled to the RFID tag for signal transmission.

Abstract: A medical sterile goods container and a device setup for documenting a content and a location of the sterile goods container. The device setup includes the sterile goods container, a transport or storage device, and a holding device insertable into the sterile goods container. The sterile goods container has at least one first identification element that is identifiable by an identifier and able to be read digitally. The first identification element is located on an outside of the sterile goods container. The sterile goods container also has at least one second identification element that is identifiable by an identifier and able to be read digitally. The second identification element is located on an inside of the sterile goods container, with the identifier of the first identification element of the sterile goods container corresponding to the identifier of the second identification element of the sterile goods container.

Abstract: A medical instrument, medical treatment system and method of assembly. The medical instrument has an instrument body with an RFID tag. An underfloor tag holder receives the RFID tag to fix it in position in such a way that the RFID tag is exposed to the surroundings of the instrument via an opening formed in an instrument body surface, but is set back from the instrument body surface to preferably prevent protrusion beyond the instrument body surface. At least portions of the underfloor tag holder with the RFID tag are enclosed by a separate metal shield having a signal-permeable aperture opening.

Abstract: A modular detection system for insertion in a strainer basket for detecting, monitoring and tracing sterile material in a sterilization circuit. The modular detection system includes a strainer basket insert which can be inserted directly in the strainer basket or arranged on a base plate. The system further includes the following individually and optionally electrically coupleable modules: a central electronic unit, a defined or freely selectable number of slots for attaching and/or connecting a predetermined number of retainer systems for retaining sterile material, each retainer system having at least one antenna system for reading a transponder in the sterile material. The system further includes a preferably defined number of conductor tracks to electrically connect the slots and/or retaining systems to one another and/or to the central electronic unit.

Abstract: A medical instrument system includes a handpiece and a surgical tool.
