Surgical container contents detection system
First Claim
1. A medical container content detection system, comprising:
- a container content sensor device for arrangement in a sterilization container, which container content sensor device comprises a carrier and at least one sensor arranged or formed on the carrier for detecting at least one identification element which is arranged or formed on at least one object stored in the sterilization container for the identification thereof;
a carrier module arranged on the carrier, wherein the carrier module includes a detection device for detecting the at least one identification element and an energy supply unit for supplying the container content sensor device with energy, arranged for the purpose of wirelessly transmitting information about the at least one object identified by the at least one identification element by radio-based data transmission to an outside of the sterilization container and is combined to form a steam-pressure sterilizable unit; and
a screen basket comprising at least one storing means for storing the at least one object, said screen basket being adapted to be introduced to the sterilization container,wherein the container content sensor device is arranged or retained in the screen basket.

Abstract
A surgical or medical container content detection system includes a container content sensor device for arrangement in a sterilization container. The container content sensor device includes a carrier and at least one sensor arranged or formed on the carrier for detecting at least one identification element which is arranged or formed on an object stored in the sterilization container for the identification thereof. A carrier module arranged on the carrier includes a detection device for detecting at least one detected identification element and is arranged for the purpose of wirelessly transmitting information about the object identified by the detected identification element to the outside of the sterilization container.

15. A medical container content detection system, comprising:
-
a container content sensor device for arrangement in a sterilization container, which container content sensor device comprises a carrier and at least one sensor arranged or formed on the carrier for detecting at least one identification element which is arranged or formed on at least one object stored in the sterilization container for the identification thereof; and a carrier module arranged on the carrier, wherein the carrier module includes a detection device for detecting the at least one identification element and an energy supply unit for supplying the container content sensor device with energy, arranged for the purpose of wirelessly transmitting information about the at least one object identified by the at least one identification element by radio-based data transmission to an outside of the sterilization container and is combined to form a steam-pressure sterilizable unit, wherein the carrier module is arranged for providing a device for sterilization container tracking and/or positioning based on a Received Signal Strength Indicator value and/or a direction identification device in connection with a high-accuracy indoor positioning and Bluetooth Low Energy conformity in relation to the energy self-supply of the container content sensor device.
