Estimating the term…
A connection system including at least a male connecting element and a female connecting element which can be connected to each other, as well as the male connecting element and the female connecting element. The location of contact of the two connecting elements is preferably provided with a disinfecting adhesive so that an aseptic or sterile connection can be established. Therein both connecting elements have predetermined breaking points which in the connected state are arranged one above the other so that only one breaking point within the tube is obtained via which an aseptic fluid guidance through two tubes from one sterile system to another sterile system can be carried out. Thereby a particularly simple and cost-saving connection is created which fulfills the highest sterility requirements. Furthermore, also the use of such a connection system is described.
A connection system for the connection of two or more sterile systems, comprising at least a male connecting element forming a closed end of a sterile, fluid-containing system and at least a female connecting element forming a closed end of a second sterile, fluid-containing system which can be aseptically connected to one another by inserting said male connecting element into said female connecting element, each of said connecting elements having a predetermined breaking point, said breaking points being aligned with one another when the two connecting elements are assembled so that they form a common predetermined breaking point enabling the closed ends of said connecting elements to be broken off together and fluid to flow through said connecting elements, said predetermined breaking point being located inside the fluid-containing system.
A connection system for the connection of two or more sterile systems, comprising at least a male connecting element forming a closed end of a sterile, fluid-containing system and at least a female connecting element forming a closed end of a second sterile, fluid-containing system which can be aseptically connected to one another, each of said connecting elements having a predetermined breaking point, said breaking points being arranged one above the other when the two connecting elements are assembled so that they form a common predetermined breaking point and can be broken off together, with the predetermined breaking point being located inside the fluid-containing system, and a disinfectant provided between contacting contact surfaces of the connecting elements.
A connection system for the connection of two or more sterile systems, comprising at least a male connecting element forming a closed end of a sterile, fluid-containing system and at least a female connecting element forming a closed end of a second sterile, fluid-containing system which can be aseptically connected to one another, each of said connecting elements having a predetermined breaking point, said breaking points being arranged one above the other when the two connecting elements are assembled so that they form a common predetermined breaking point and can be broken off together, with the predetermined breaking point being located inside the fluid-containing system, and cyanoacrylate being provided for connecting the two connecting elements.
A connection system for the connection of two or more sterile systems, comprising at least a male connecting element forming a closed end of a first sterile, fluid-containing system and at least a female connecting element forming a closed end of a second sterile, fluid-containing system which can be aseptically connected to one another by inserting said male connecting element into said female connecting element such that said male and female connecting elements have an elongated nested portion with said closed portions adjacent one another, each of said connecting elements having a predetermined breaking point, said breaking points being adjacent one another in said elongated nested portion when the two connecting elements are assembled so that said breaking points align to form a common predetermined breaking point enabling the closed ends of said male and female connecting elements to be broken off together to open said connection system for fluid flow between said sterile systems, said predetermined breaking point being located inside the fluid-containing system so that said system remains sealed to an exterior thereof upon breakage of said connecting elements at said common breaking point.
