Patent number: 11614188Abstract: Formation of a sterile connection includes inserting a first aseptic coupling device into a second aseptic coupling device while a locking ring of the first aseptic device is in an indexed initial position, rotating the locking ring to a secured position in which a compressive force is created and in which a first membrane from the first aseptic coupling device and a second membrane from the second aseptic coupling device can removed thereby resulting in a first a first sealing member of the first aseptic coupling device sealing with a second sealing member of the second aseptic coupling device to form a sterile fluid passageway.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2020Date of Patent: March 28, 2023Assignee: Colder Products CompanyInventors: Todd Andrews, Jeremy Nichols, Blair Plackner, Randy Williams

Patent number: 10307583Abstract: An aseptic coupling arrangement includes a first coupling device and a second aseptic coupling device. In one example, the first and second coupling devices are substantially similar, each having a main body having a front face and a fluid passageway therethrough. A first connecting feature on the main body of each coupling device may be provided for aligning and coupling the aseptic devices together. Each coupling device may also include a sealing member received in the main body and a membrane removably coupled to the main body front face to cover the sealing member. The first aseptic coupling device may also include a rotatable protective cover that is removably attached to the main body and connected to the membrane. In one example, the removal of the protective covers away from two coupled main bodies, in a direction parallel to the front faces, causes removal of the membranes.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2016Date of Patent: June 4, 2019Assignee: Colder Products CompanyInventors: Randall Williams, Loi Truong, Blair Plackner, Jeremy Henry Nichols

Publication number: 20130289517Abstract: An aseptic coupling arrangement including a first coupling device and a second aseptic coupling device is disclosed. In one embodiment, the first and second coupling devices are substantially similar, each having a main body defining a front face and a fluid passageway therethrough. A first connecting feature disposed on the main body of each coupling device may be provided for aligning and coupling the aseptic devices together. Each coupling device may also include a sealing member received in the main body and a membrane removably coupled to the main body front face to cover the sealing member. The first aseptic coupling device may also include a rotatable protective cover that is removably attached to the main body and connected to the membrane. In one embodiment, the removal of the protective covers away from two coupled main bodies, in a direction parallel to the front faces, causes removal of the membranes.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2013Publication date: October 31, 2013Applicant: COLDER PRODUCTS COMPANYInventors: Randall Scott Williams, Loi Truong, Blair Plackner, Jeremy Henry Nichols
