A recipient has a body designed to contain a fluid and an orifice by which the fluid may be introduced into the body. The recipient is equipped with a system for the sterile transfer of the fluid from inside the body. The transfer system comprises a deformable and impervious wall, wherein the wall is positioned with respect to the recipient so that it forms a closed and sterile space inside which the orifice is located, a fluid communication device between the closed space and the outside of the recipient, wherein the device may be handled without compromising the sterility, and a seal structure associated with the orifice, wherein the seal structure is at least partially located inside the closed space so that it may be moved between an open position and a closed position of the orifice.
A recipient comprising a body designed to contain a fluid including an orifice by which said fluid may be introduced into said body, a system for sterile transfer of the fluid inside said body, said transfer system comprising a deformable and impervious wall positioned with respect to the recipient so that said wall forms a closed and sterile space inside which the orifice is located, a fluid communication device between the closed space and an outside of the recipient which can be handled without compromising sterility, and sealing means for the orifice, said sealing means being at least partially located inside the closed space so that the sealing means may be moved between an open position and a closed position of the orifice.
