Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2019068963A1] A tight connection device (40) intended to ensure the aseptic transfer of a biopharmaceutical product between a chamber (10) provided with a removable door (18) and a container (20) provided with a removable cover, comprises: - stationary temporary clamping means (50) capable of keeping the container (20) clamped against the chamber (10) such that the removable cover (28) of the container (20) is hermetically pressed against the removable door (18) of the chamber (10); stationary unlocking means (60) capable of switching the container (20) from an initial locked position in which the removable cover (28) hermetically seals the container (20) to an intermediate unlocked position in which the removable cover (28) is disengaged from the container (20) and held hermetically against the removable door (18) of the chamber (10) so as to ensure aseptic communication between the container (20) and the chamber (10); stationary locking means (70) capable of switching the container (20) from the intermediate unlocked position to an end locked position in which the removable cover (28) hermetically seals the container (20) once more; an annular functional crown (42) capable of being rotated about a geometric axis of rotation (R) in such a way as to actuate the stationary unlocking means (60) and the stationary locking means (70) of the container (20), the stationary unlocking means (60) and the stationary locking means (70) being mechanically linked to the annular functional crown (42) and arranged such that the rotation of the annular functional crown (42) about the geometric axis of rotation (R) results successively in the actuation of the stationary unlocking means (60) ensuring the switch to the intermediate unlocked position of the container (20), then the actuation of the stationary locking means (70) ensuring the switch to the end locked position of the container (20). The device further comprises stationary immobilising/release means (80) capable of preventing the annular functional crown (42) from rotating when the stationary immobilising/release means (80) are in an immobilising position, and capable of allowing the annular functional crown (42) to rotate when the stationary immobilising/release means (80) are in a release position.
