Abstract (en)
The system uses a cubical transport container (10) with a sterile interior. There are one or more projecting fittings (16) on one or more faces of the cube. They are each closed by a stopper (24). A flexible hose (26) is fitted into the neck of a bag (28) on the inside of the fitting, and has a control valve (30) and a telescopic part (32) adjacent to the lid. The projection fitting may engage a socket (44) containing a transparent tube (52) surrounded by e.g. UV (Ultraviolet Radiation) lamps to kill microorganisms. The socket is attached to a sterile enclosure (43), and has a removable plug (42). After the two enclosures have been coupled together, the UV lamps ore used to sterilize the interior of the connecting tube, the stoppers can be removed, and the transfer hose may be used.
Abstract (fr)
Pour transférer des produits aseptiques entre deux enceintes (34), on utilise un conteneur stérile (10) doté d'une interface de remplissage (16) et d'une interface de vidange (18). Chaque interface (16,18) comprend un obturateur (24) derrière lequel est placé un flexible (26) muni d'un système de fermeture (30,30'). Le remplissage du conteneur (10) et sa vidange s'effectuent en raccordant l'interface (16,18) et l'enceinte (34) correspondantes, en stérilisant le volume emprisonné entre l'obturateur (24) et la porte (42,50) de l'enceinte (34), en ouvrant cette porte ainsi que l'obturateur, et en mettant en place le flexible (26) correspondant. Après le remplissage du conteneur (10), le système de fermeture (30) de l'interface de remplissage (16) est refermé. <IMAGE>
