Abstract: This protective device (20) is intended to equip a sterile enclosure (1) likely to be placed in communication with another sterile enclosure (2) so as to allow objects to be transferred from one enclosure to the other. According to the invention, this device (20) comprises: a protective component (21) having a wall (25) capable, when engaged in the openings delimited by the seats of the doors (7, 8) of the enclosures (1, 2), of covering the interface where these seats meet, without contact with this interface, and positioning means (26) allowing this wall (25) to be positioned with respect to this interface in this contactless covering position.

Abstract: This connecting device applies to a sealed connection device in which, firstly, each chamber, respectively a stationary chamber “A” and a transportable chamber “B” has at least one access opening equipped with a door (2, 3) cooperating with a flange (4, 5) with the interposition of sealing elements (12, 14), one (2) of the two doors being articulated to its flange (4), and secondly, the two doors (2, 3) have an element to lock their respective flanges (4, 5) and complementary connecting elements which allow them to be connected thereby forming, through contact of sealing elements (12, 16), an internal space “C” isolating their faces (17, 18) opposite each other from the external medium.

Abstract: A bag comprising an envelope closed at one end by an end wall and delimiting a mouth at the other end, containing a charge capable of passing, for example under gravity, through said mouth, when said bag is in the inverted position, said envelope being shaped on itself at said mouth in order to close said bag. At the opposite end to the end wall, the envelope is shaped on itself, in particular folded, to determine, without discontinuity: an outer sleeve which is above the mouth when the bag is in the inverted position; at least one inner closure fold; a neck inside which the inner closure fold is located; and at least one outer closure fold closing said neck.

Abstract: A sealed connection device in which, two chambers (“A” and “B”), each has an access opening equipped with a door (2, 3) cooperating with a flange (4, 5) with the interposition of sealing means (12, 14), one (2) of the two doors being articulated with its flange (4). The detection device comprises two grooves (30, 35), formed in the external face of the flange (4) of chamber (A), a seal (36) placed in the groove (35), a network of ducts (31, 32, 33) formed in flange (4) and connecting the inner groove (30) to a coupling (34), a vacuum pump (38) the intake (37) of which is connected to the said coupling, and a sensor (44) measuring the strength of the partial vacuum in the pneumatic circuit leading to the groove (30) and reacting on alarm means (47, 48) if ever the partial vacuum does not reach an appropriate value.

Abstract: A process for the external decontamination of a packaged object, the latter comprising the object proper, at least the external surface of which is in the decontaminated state, for example sterile, a closed wrapper containing said object, the interior of which is in the decontaminated state, for example sterile, as well as a means of filtration, said process comprising a step of decontaminating the external surface of the wrapper, wherein, before the step of decontaminating the external surface of the wrapper: a) at least two parts and are formed in the wrapper, these respectively determining two compartments and which are leaktight with respect to one another, a first part containing said object, and a second part comprising the whole of the filtration means; b) the second part is separated from the first part, while preserving the leaktightness of the first compartment; then the first part alone is subjected to the step of decontaminating the external surface of the wrapper.
