Abstract
Certain exemplary embodiments can provide a system comprising an automatic container positioner that, in an operative embodiment, positions a container for introduction of a filling to the container via a filling inlet of the container. In certain embodiments, the container can be located in a critical zone positioned in an airflow encountering no Class 100 contaminant generators upstream from the critical zone. In certain embodiments, the positioner can be located downstream of the filling inlet of the container.
Claims76
A method comprising a plurality of activities comprising:
- via a system comprising an autoclaveable automatic non-electrically-driven container positioner, automatically transporting a container within a critical zone located in an airflow that encounters no Class 100 contaminant generators upstream from the critical zone, the container positioner located downstream from a filling inlet of the container;
- and
- automatically introducing a filling to the container via the filling inlet of the container.
