摘要 |
The invention relates to a device for detecting a load and/or fill status of a medical waste container (10) with a supporting unit (12) designed for the detachable mounting of the medical waste container (10), a pressure sensor unit (14) allocated to the supporting unit (12) and designed to interact with the waste container when the latter is placed on the supporting unit in such a way that as reaction to an application of pressure by the waste container caused by an attachment and/or filling process a pressure sensor signal is generated, an electronic evaluation unit (16) connected downstream of the pressure sensor unit and designed to evaluate the pressure sensor signal and to emit an activation signal to an alarm and/or signal unit (18) when a magnitude of the applied pressure and/or a level of the pressure sensor signal exceeds a predetermined threshold value.
