Abstract: A gas transfer system including a housing, a pressurized gas canister held by the housing, a first passageway in fluid communication with the pressurized gas canister and configured to supply pressurized pre-sterilization gas from the pressurized gas canister to a fluid flow component, a gas discharge canister held by the housing; and a second passageway in fluid communication with the gas discharge canister and configured to supply post soak gas from the fluid flow component to the gas discharge canister. A humidification system or device is included for the sterile humidification of sterilizing gas. Additional related devices, systems and methods are provided.

The system may include devices directed to disinfection of fluid flow components, members, or fluid zones, and methods for their use. Additional related devices, systems and methods are provided.

Abstract: A device and approach to ensure acceptable alignment of internal mechanical components requiring bushings. Over wide ranges of temperature, some bushings experience sufficient thermal dimensional change as to misalign or to interfere with other mechanical components. Such bushings may be reduced in size or include a plurality of outer surfaces to avoid interference, and employ ball nose assemblies to maintain acceptable alignment. At full thermal expansion of such a bushing, the ball nose assembly inter-relates with the bushing so as to maintain alignment without interference.
