Abstract:
A device for simultaneously identifying a plurality of surgical instruments or instrument groups includes a first detecting device having a first detection technology for detecting instruments and, if applicable, related instrument-specific information. The device also includes a second detecting device having a second different detection technology for detecting instruments and instrument information. Moreover, the device includes a comparing device for comparing the detection results of the two detecting devices. The comparing device outputs a positive evaluation regarding the correctness of the detected instruments if the two detection results are matching.

Claim (Index 1):
A device for simultaneously identifying a plurality of different surgical instruments or instrument groups, comprising:\n a first detecting device including a first detection technology for detecting instruments and possibly related instrument-specific information as a first detection result; a second detecting device including a second detection technology different from the first detection technology, the second detection technology for detecting instruments and possibly related instrument-specific information as a second detection result; a conveyor belt device for moving the plurality of different surgical instruments or instrument groups relative to the first and second detecting devices; and a comparing device for comparing the first detection result and the second detection result, wherein the comparing device outputs a positive evaluation regarding the correctness of detected instruments if the first detection result matches the second detection result, and wherein, when the first detection result and the second detection result are not matching, the comparing device compares the first detection result and the second detection result to a predetermined data set and outputs a positive evaluation if: at least one of the first and second detection results matches the predetermined data set, or a combination of the first and second detection results matches the predetermined data set.
