Dental Impression Taking
"Aus der Carpule wird zunächst die Applikationsspritze gefüllt und angereicht."
This is talking about a particular dental impression technique.
I am mystified by "angereicht". The only place I can find anything for "anreichen" is in my Collins Dictionary, where te meaning of "anreichen" is given as "to pass" or "hand over".
Is that possible here? To me, "angereichert" would make more sense. It would fit better. Has there been a mistake on the part of the writer? Could "anreichen" mean "anreichern" in some regions of Germany?
TIA for any ideas you might have on this.
