## Abstract

A machine for the preparation of medical product includes a device for loading bags of medical product into the machine. The device includes a shaft with the ability to rotate and two or more adaptors for housing injection points of bags of medical product arranged on the shaft. The rotation of the shaft causes the adaptors arranged on the shaft to rotate. Two stops define a position for loading bags by an operator and an operating position of the machine.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A machine for the preparation of medical product which has a device for loading a medical product in said machine, wherein said device comprises a shaft with the ability to rotate, a plurality of adaptors for housing injection points of bags of medical product which are arranged on the shaft, the rotation of the shaft causing the adaptors to rotate, and two stops which limit the rotation of the shaft, said stops defining a position for loading bags by an operator and an operating position of the machine,
wherein the device for loading the medical product comprises a lever mechanically connected to the shaft, said lever configured such that actuation of the lever causes the shaft to rotate.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The machine according to claim 1, wherein the operating position of the machine is a position in which the injection points of the bags are positioned beneath a worktop of the machine.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The machine according to claim 1 further comprising a guide, the ends of which define the stops.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The machine according to claim 1 further comprising a guide, the ends of which define the stops, wherein the lever comprises a protrusion, said protrusion of the lever being housed in the guide, the protrusion being guided by said guide during the actuation of the lever.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The machine according to claim 4, wherein the guide comprises a curved central segment and end segments situated at the ends of the central segment, there being a change of direction between the central segment and the end segments, such that the end segments correspond to the bag loading position for the operator and the operating position of the machine.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The machine according to claim 5, wherein the lever comprises an actuator with a pusher and elastic position recovery means for the pusher, such that the actuator allows the relative position of the protrusion with respect to the lever to be modified, facilitating the passage of the lever from the end segments to the central segment and vice versa.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The machine according to claim 1, wherein the device for loading bags of medical product comprises handles for manual handling.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The machine according to claim 1, wherein the adaptors comprise push-fitting means for injection points of the bags of medical product.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The machine according to claim 1 further comprising a cross-piece for supporting bags of medical product in the operating position of the machine.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

A method for loading bags of medical product into a machine for the preparation of the medical product by the machine of claim 1, which comprises:
a. placing the device in the bag loading position for the operator;
b. fastening the bags in the adaptors; and
c. rotating the shaft from the operator bag loading position to the machine operating position.
