Patent number: 11844746Abstract: The invention relates to a protective housing for a biopharmaceutical liquid bag having a lower shell with a bottom and side walls, and an upper shell. The upper shell includes a housing for receiving the bag, and can be inserted into the lower shell, in such a way that the opening of the housing is adjacent to and facing the bottom of the lower shell, and in such a way that the upper shell is laterally held in place between the side walls of the lower shell.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2018Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: Sartorius Stedim FMT SASInventors: Stephane Baud, Frédéric Bazin

Publication number: 20200237620Abstract: A protective container for a biopharmaceutical liquid bag comprises: a lower shell comprising a bottom and side walls; and an upper shell, said upper shell comprising a reinforcement capable of covering the bag and being insertable in the lower shell, so that the upper shell is retained in the upper part of the side walls of the lower shell by resting on support elements located in the lower shell.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2018Publication date: July 30, 2020Applicant: SARTORIUS STEDIM FMT SASInventor: Stéphane BAUD

Patent number: 10618716Abstract: The container includes a lower wall and an erect side wall limiting an upper opening of a housing for accommodating a flexible pouch containing a fluid; containment elements including a containment wall, the gap between its peripheral edge and the side wall being limited; the containment wall adapted to be applied against the pouch and held fixed in this position by holding elements arranged in the container and borne by the containment elements by a structural and functional combination, and being movable between an inactive retracted state and an active expanded state, in which a distal end part is either moved away from the side wall or applied there against without any chance of sliding; and adapted to be applied at any desired location of a zone of the side wall such that the containment wall can be applied and held against the pouch regardless of how full the latter is.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2016Date of Patent: April 14, 2020Assignee: SARTORIUS STEDIM FMT SASInventors: Stephane Baud, Bastien Guillot

Patent number: 10532837Abstract: A support device (20), mounted on an upper edge of a container (3), includes lifting elements that define a support surface (22) which extends transversely outwards from an inner edge (55). The upper end (2b) of a flexible pouch for biopharmaceutical product can rest on this support surface, the rest of the 3D-type pouch extending into the container. The slot (23) which separates the support surface into two portions defines a guide path for a flexible supply line (9a, 9b) for the pouch (2) that is connected at its bottom to the end (2b). A convex surface is formed at the rear end of the slot and above the edge of the container, so as to guide and facilitate the passage of the line (9a) into the housing, when the filling state is sufficiently advanced. The causes of poor deployment of the pouch are thus minimized, without human intervention.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2015Date of Patent: January 14, 2020Assignee: SARTORIUS STEDIM FMT SASInventors: Stephane Baud, Frederic Bernard
