Integrated RFID tag in a manual instrument

A medical hand-held instrument comprising an instrument body having at least one gripping portion, at least one effector portion, an RFID tag, and a cut-out or open section in the instrument body in a region which is substantially force-free during operative activation of the medical hand-held instrument, wherein in the cut-out or open section, a subsurface tag holder in a form of a bridge or a strip is inserted, which fills the cut-out or open section in a form-adapted manner with respect to the medical hand-held instrument, wherein the subsurface tag holder in the form of a bridge or a strip is configured to connect a first shoulder of the cut-out or open section with a second shoulder of the cut-out or open section, wherein the at least one effector portion has two branches, the at least one gripping portion has a first ring-shaped handle and a second ring-shaped handle, and the cut-out or open section is arranged on a side of the first ring-shaped handle facing away from the second ring-shaped handle;

• wherein short sides of the subsurface tag holder each have a protruding latch-behind hemisphere and the short sides are configured at an acute angle to each other in order to insert and/or push the subsurface tag holder into the cut-out or open section, and
• wherein the subsurface tag holder is pushable or insertable into the cut-out or open section from inside of the first ring-shaped handle in an outward direction, so that the protruding latch-behind hemispheres engage in milled recesses in the first ring-shaped handle.
