Tight connection and tight transfer between two housings in view of an aseptic transfer therebetween
Patent number: 9283556Abstract: A device for a tight connection between a first housing (1) having a wall (3), an opening (4), a flange (5) and a door (6), and a second housing (2) having a wall (7), an opening (8), a flange (9) and a door (10). The flanges are complementary, and elements are used to displace the door (6). Elements are used to hold the two doors against each other, and the housings communicate between each other via a communication space (13). There is an inner annular critical line on the door (6) and an outer annular critical line of risk of contamination on the flange (9). The device includes elements (25 and/or 26) that are structurally integrated into the door (6) and/or the flange (9) and can form a separation between the communication space and the inner annular critical line and/or the outer annular critical line, when the doors are open.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2010Date of Patent: March 15, 2016Assignee: SARTORIUS STEDIM ASEPTICSInventors: Stephanie Armau, Isabelle Gay, Mathieu Labedan, Gaelle Nodin -
Patent number: 9242753Abstract: A sterilizable biopharmaceutical packaging includes an opening for inserting biopharmaceutical contents to be sterilized, the opening being separate from a sterilization gas conveyance channel so that the opening can be closed independently and before closing the sterilization gas conveyance channel. The opening is directly adjacent to an inner space for receiving the biopharmaceutical contents so that the contents to be sterilized are inserted directly into the inner space from outside the packaging. The elements for controlling the distribution of the sterilization gas open/close the sterilization gas conveyance channel independently of the opening or closing of the insertion opening.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2011Date of Patent: January 26, 2016Assignee: SARTORIUS STEDIM FMT SASInventors: Isabelle Gay, Gaelle Nodin, Nicolas Mendyk, Stephanie Armau
