Device and method for drying dialysis filters

A device (1) for drying dialysis filters (8), the device comprising:

• a drying chamber (2);
• a microwave generating unit (3), which emits microwaves into the drying chamber (2), and the microwave generating unit (3) has at least one of a variable frequency or a variable power;
• a control unit (4) to which the microwave generating unit (3) is connected, the control unit (4) is configured to at least one of a) vary at least one of the frequency or the power of the microwave generating unit (3) during a drying process or b) keep at least one of the frequency or the power of the microwave generating unit (3) constant during a drying process;
• and
• at least one moisture sensor (19) to which the controller (4) is connected, and the controller (4) varies the at least one of the frequency or the power of the microwave generating unit (3) as a function of a moisture value ascertained by the moisture sensor (19);
• wherein the at least one moisture sensor (19) is arranged at least one of in a supply air flow path or an exhaust air flow out of the drying chamber (2).
