  • Valve system
    Patent number: 10731638
    Abstract: A valve comprising a base plate defining an inlet and outlet passageway. A cover plate is disposed on the base plate and defines a first and second channel. A pressure plate is disposed on the base plate and includes a first anchoring portion, a first sealing portion, and a first biasing portion connecting the first anchoring portion and the first sealing portion. Furthermore, a suction plate is disposed on the base plate and includes a second anchoring portion, a second sealing portion, and a second biasing portion connecting the second anchoring portion to the second sealing portion. The valve is movable between a first configuration, where the first sealing portion is distal to first channel and the second sealing portion is proximal to inlet passageway, and a second configuration, in which the first sealing portion is proximal to first channel, and second sealing portion is distal to inlet passageway.

  • GLOVE BAG MANIFOLD FOR ASEPTIC ASSEMBLING OF RADIOPHARMACEUTICAL FILLING UNITS
    Publication number: 20140366486
    Abstract: This invention relates to the filling or dispensing of radiopharmaceuticals in sample vials. Radiopharmaceuticals must be dispensed in a cleanroom environment according to cGMP regulations. Single-use filling cassette-type dispensing systems can be used for filling or dispensing of radiopharmaceuticals in sample vials. A single-use filling cassette is the core of such a dispenser system. A flexible bag container comprising a flexible bag and a filling cassette was found. The filling cassette is assembled within the flexible bag under aseptic conditions. The assembled filling cassette defined a closed system since each opening is connected to a sample vials or sterile filter avoiding contamination from outside.
