    摘要: A sterile filling unit, of a basic container with contents that can be distributed in a fluid form and that is originally located in a source container in a sterile manner, includes a sterile chamber with at least one sterile entry port and/or outlet; a sterile fluid transfer and filling line with an intake and an outlet, such that for a filling stage the line passes through the wall of the sterile chamber in a sterile manner, with the intake located outside of the sterile chamber in sterile fluid communication with the source container, with the filling element at the outlet located inside the sterile chamber and positioned to be operating; and a unit that can introduce the disposable internal elements that, in a stage prior to the filling stage, were located outside of the sterile chamber, into the interior of the sterile chamber in a sterile manner.

    摘要: A fluid-connection device capable of and intended for connecting a flexible pipe to a flexible or rigid pipe or enclosure in a biopharmaceutical assembly such as to provide fluid communication between two fluid spaces, including a first connector in fluid communication with the first fluid space, a second connector in fluid communication with the second fluid space, the first connector and the second connector optionally being coupled together in a coupling position, the first connector including a tubular nozzle which can be inserted in one end of the pipe, a pipe clamp being arranged around the end of the tube in order to clamp the pipe onto the tubular nozzle of the first connector, the second connector including protection elements which, in the coupling position, are positioned radially at least partially opposite the pipe clamp, whereby the pipe clamp cannot come into direct contact with external elements.

    摘要: A fluid connection device (10) for connecting two fluid conduits (11, 12), includes a female plug (1), a male plug (2), intended to be inserted into the female plug into a final coupling position, a movable primary locking device (3), having a locked position (30) in which it prevents the male and female plugs from being released from the final coupling position, and a movable secondary latch (4) having an active position (40) designed to prevent the primary locking device (3) from being moved out of the locked position of same, whereby the fluid connection device can establish a permanent connection of the first and second conduits.

    摘要: A female connector (1) configured to receive a male connector (2), having an annular exterior retaining rim (24), the female connector including a body (10), and a transverse slide (4) forming a housing, the housing (4) including two lateral grooves (41,42), the female connector including a separate deformable locking ring (3) capable of being inserted in the housing and of locking the male connector in the coupling position, the locking ring including two first concave arched portions (31), as viewed from the axis, and two second arched portions (32), with inverse curvature, i.e. convex when viewed from the axis, the second arched portions being capable of flexing towards the exterior during insertion of the male connector and capable of abutting on the external annular retaining rim and preventing withdrawal of the male connector, whereby after locking of the male connector in the female connector a definitive locking is obtained.

    摘要: A processing receptacle for a biopharmaceutical product includes a pocket configured to accommodate the biopharmaceutical product that can assume a flat-folded state, an expanded state, or any intermediate state in between, a processing element having an active inner portion, a rigid protective chamber to protect the processing element, and at least one opening for introducing the product into the receptacle and/or for draining the contents from the receptacle. A portion of the protective chamber is rigidly attached to a portion of the pocket and movement of the pocket up or down brings about movement of the protective chamber; the processing element and the protective chamber are arranged to be independent from one another relative to their movements. The protective chamber has a variable height that automatically adapts to accommodate the flat-folded, expanded, or intermediate state of the pocket, and in each state of the pocket, the processing element is offset from the side walls and the upper end portion of the pocket, while being adjacent to the lower end portion. A device having such a processing receptacle and a method for processing a biopharmaceutical product utilizing such a device are also presented.
