A decontamination system, method, and sterilant kit for a device, such as a lumen device, is depicted. The decontamination system, in some embodiments, includes a device container, a wicking pad, and a sterilant fluid delivery device. The device container, such as a terminal package or a decontamination chamber, defines a device receiving area. The wicking pad is in fluid communication with the device receiving area. The sterilant fluid delivery device is in fluid communication with the wicking pad. The sterilant fluid delivery device is configured to wet the wicking pad with sterilant fluid. The wicking pad is configured to evaporate sterilant fluid into the device receiving area.

A packaging for a bioprocessing bag includes a housing having an open interior space, and a support base attached to an external side of the housing, the support base having a recess for receiving an impeller base plate of a bioprocessing bag.

The invention concerns a storage device for cleaning and charging portable X-ray detectors, and an X-ray system comprising such storage device. The storage device comprises a receiving unit for receiving at least one portable X-ray detector, a cleaning unit for cleaning the portable X-ray detector when being received by the receiving unit, and a charging unit for charging the portable X-ray detector, wherein the cleaning unit is configured for mechanically and/or chemically cleaning the portable X-ray detector. Further, the invention concerns a method of cleaning and charging a portable X-ray detector in a storage device.

A system for sterilizing a drug delivery device includes a drug delivery device having a first self-healing seal configured to seal a fluid reservoir disposed within the drug delivery device. A sealable container is configured to receive the drug delivery device therein. The sealable container has a base portion and a cover portion. The cover portion has a second self-healing seal positioned to align with the first self-healing seal when the drug delivery device is disposed within the sealable container. A fill port includes a fill path, the fill path being configured to pass through the first and second self-healing seals to fluidly couple the fill port to the reservoir of the drug delivery device. Other systems, methods, and devices of sterilization are also disclosed.

Seal integrity indicators for sterilization containers are provided. For example, a seal indicator may indicate whether the container is sufficiently sealed to prevent an ingress of contaminants into the container. If the container is sufficiently sealed, the seal indicator is visible, but if not, the seal indicator is not visible. Thus, the seal indicator undergoes a change in state when the sterilization container transitions from unsealed to sealed, or vice versa, such that a user may ascertain whether the container is properly sealed to maintain the container's sterility. An exemplary seal indicator includes an invertible projection formed with the container gasket that is not visible from outside the container until inverted, due to force applied by the lid, to extend through an opening in the container body. Closure mechanisms for sterilization containers also are provided.

The invention relates to a sealed container (1) comprising a container body (2) having a through-hole (8) that is delimited by a flange and is closed by a removable door (7) mounted on the flange, an annular seal (13) located between the flange and the door (7), the flange, the door (7) and the seal forming a sealed connection device that can be connected to a complementary connection device on a sterile enclosure by means of bayonet connection means in order to allow sterile communication between the sealed container and the sterile enclosure, characterized in that the seal (13) comprises, on its inner peripheral circumference, an annular attachment bead (130) for attaching the door (7) to the flange inserted into a notch (70) on the door (7).

A sterilization container for receiving cleaned or sterilized medical goods or medical goods to be cleaned or sterilized. The container includes a sterilization container lower part forming a receiving space for the goods and a sterilization container lid that can be detachably mounted on the sterilization container lower part to seal the receiving space. At least one handle element is located on the sterilization container lower part and can be positioned between a carrying position projecting from the sterilization container lid and a locking position that locks the sterilization container lid to the sterilization container lower part. A receiving region is formed in the sterilization container lid for receiving the handle element in the locking position. The receiving region is a trough like handle recess in the form of a depression projecting into the receiving space with respect to the lid plane for receiving the entire handle element.

The present disclosure describes a container that includes a body having a lower surface, an upper rim, and a plurality of side walls that extend between the lower surface and the upper rim, wherein the upper rim defines an opening to an interior space of the body, a flexible cover that covers the opening of the body and is bonded to the body along the upper rim, and gas-permeable material through which gas can enter and exit the interior space of the body. The upper rim of the body is spaced apart from any of the gas-permeable material, such that the cover can be peeled away from the upper rim to expose the opening while leaving the gas-permeable material intact.

A medical or surgical sterile container includes a first container part, a second container part, and at least one closure system arranged on the second container part which is pivotable between a closed position, in which the first container part and the second container part are locked to each other by the closure system, and an open position, in which the first container part and the second container part are unlocked. The first container part has an integrally formed edge portion on which the closure system is immediately supported in the closed position, for transferring a closing force of the first container part to the second container part.

The present invention relates to an auto injector (1) comprising a prefilled liquid medicament container, a hollow auto injector body (2) housing the medicament container. The auto injector body (2) has an elongated part, a first end side (21) and a second end side (22) and at least one through hole (3) arranged between the end sides (21, 22). The through holes (3) allow for flow of gas through the auto injector body (2) when the auto injector body (2) houses the medicament container. The invention further relates to a method comprising inserting the auto injector (1) into the package via an opening in a non-inert environment, and, in a non-inert environment and under atmospheric pressure: replacing the air in the package with inert atmosphere by one or several cycles of removing air and inserting inert gas through the opening, wherein the air and inert gas in part flows through the at least one through hole (3) of the auto injector (1). The method further comprises sealing the opening under vacuum.
