Abstract: A method is for sterilization of flexible bags containing human plasma protein solution with electron beam. The method includes emitting at least one electron beam with energy between 400 and 500 keV. After approximately 10 nsec to 1.5 sec, a second electron beam pulse is emitted with an energy of at least 4 MeV.

Abstract: Method for the aseptic filling of a bag with a pharmaceutical product or liquid which comprises the following steps: a) a first step in which the cap is inserted in the inlet of the bag; b) a second step in which said cap is raised and the pharmaceutical product or liquid concerned is introduced; c) a third step in which the cap is re-inserted in the inlet of the bag; and d) a fourth step in which the cap and the inlet of the bag are welded.

Abstract: An device is for electron-beam irradiation sterilization of flexible bags that may contain human plasma protein solutions for therapeutic use. The device has two electron accelerators, a first accelerator emitting an electron beam with energies between 400 and 500 keV and a second accelerator emitting an electron beam with an energy of at least 4 MeV. A sterilization method by electron-beam irradiation provides sterilization of such flexible bags. An in-line filling process for flexible bags can use the sterilization device and method.

Abstract: A sterilization method includes irradiating flexible bags, in particular, bags of the type that can contain solutions of human plasma proteins for therapeutic use. The sterilization method includes electron beam irradiation. An in-line method for filling flexible bags of the type that can contain solutions of human plasma proteins for therapeutic use can use the sterilization method.

Abstract: Disclosed is an automatic container-emptying device. The device is equipped with means for collecting and gravity-emptying containers and comprising a product collection zone. The device includes a dripper equipped with at least one element for supporting upside down containers. The dripper has two operating positions: a first positon for holding the containers to allow the product to drip onto the product collection zone and a second positon for ejecting said containers.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus for emptying bottles containing frozen blood product. The apparatus comprises an automatic unit for checking the weight of emptied bottles. The automatic unit comprises a load detection system for measuring the weight of emptied bottles, an air pressure measuring unit for measuring the pressure in the room in which the emptying apparatus is located, and a measurement compensation unit for correcting the load value on the basis of the room pressure measurement. The weight-checking unit generates a “not empty” signal if the value of the corrected load is greater than or equal to a predetermined value.

Abstract: A device for taking samples from containers includes: a receiving body for at least one container; a container bar code reader positioned in the receiving body for containers; a support for a test tube with the ability to move; a bar code reader positioned in the support; and a fluid communication component between the container and the test tube. The support for test tubes includes at least a test tube loading position and a sample-taking position. The device also includes a controller configured to control position of the support for test tube. The controller can also include at least one sensor of the position of the support for test tube and a blocking component configured to block a position of said support for test tube.
