Device for substantially germ-free provision of a fluid medium

A device for providing a fluid medium, comprising:

• a removal device with a closed-off, sterilizable interior, a needle element being held in the interior, and the interior being closed off by a germ-blocking perforable sealing element;
• a container containing the fluid medium, the container having a container wall with a perforable section;
• wherein the removal device and the container are connectable, wherein connecting the perforable section and the perforable sealing element creates a protected region between the perforable section and the perforable sealing element, the connection closing off the protected region with respect to the surroundings in a substantially germ-tight fashion, wherein, in the connected state, the needle element is capable of perforating the perforable sealing element and the perforable section such that the needle element penetrates the protected region;
• and
• further wherein, in the connected state an intermediate element is disposed between the external side of the perforable sealing element and the external side of the perforable section, the intermediate element comprising a germ barrier for the protected region.
