Definitions
- the present invention relates to a disposable insulator for the manufacture of batches of sensitive products, including drugs, in a sterile atmosphere with a laminar flow and a dual filtration, input and output.
- the invention also covers the production line using at least one insulator according to the present invention.
- the invention also relates to a ready-to-use isolator integrating the products to be treated.
- the present invention is described for pharmaceuticals but applies to generally sensitive products.
- insulators that allow the manufacture and packaging of batches of pharmaceuticals in smaller numbers, which offer the same guarantees of asepsis that the lines of large capacity, which allow identical handling work for transfers as for the conditioning and which are disposable, which avoids the sanitarization treatment that would be required for re-use.
- These insulators are also supplied dismantled with a modular structure, so that the transport and the storage are also inexpensive, not very constraining.
- Links with airlocks make it possible to connect several insulators in order to constitute a chain.
- the requirements are generally at least two rooms, one in class B and the other in class A.
- GMP Good Manufacturing Practices
- the conditions at rest can be respected but in activity, it remains much more difficult.
- This device comprises at least one duct positioned on an inner face of at least one wall of the insulator, in particular the upper face.
- This at least one pipe has holes of given diameter and distribution, so as to limit turbulence. In the same way, to respect all the constraints, it is also necessary to avoid any return through the outlet, during a failure of the pressurized air supply and / or by exerting a movement likely to create a suction through the outlet.
- Another desirable condition is to be able to work in full fresh air and to discharge air directly to the atmosphere. It is the object of the present invention to provide an insulator that is adapted to respond to these problems.
- the invention also proposes a production line integrating at least one insulator according to the present invention.
- FIG. 1 a perspective view of two insulators according to the present invention
- FIG. 3 a view of a packaging line incorporating in particular two insulators according to the present invention
- each insulator comprising a framework 10 forming a holding structure, a containment envelope 12 of transparent material and completely sealed, suspended from said frame .
- the envelope is substantially in the shape of the frame so substantially cubic and smaller dimensions to be suspended.
- This envelope is provided with at least one pair of gloves G handling, welded to said casing 12, also completely waterproof.
- the framework is advantageously a set of bars 10-1 with 10-2 connecting nuts so as to form cubes.
- These bars 10-1 are advantageously metallic, made of stainless steel, so as to give them sufficient mechanical strength and the possibility of sterilization if necessary, by heat or by spraying sterilizing solutions, without degradation.
- These frames are reusable with new envelopes. These frames must only respect the degree of sterilization of the room in which the installation is located. These frames rest on a worktable T so as to place the underside of the cube on said table T and to benefit from a rigid and flat work surface.
- the envelopes 12 are generally attached to the framework 10 and more particularly to the bars by means of lugs 12-1 integral with the edges of said envelope, the fasteners of the lugs on themselves being pressure fasteners around the tubes.
- an air inlet 14S on the upper face of the casing and an air outlet 141 for each insulator on the underside of the casing each comprise an upper module 16S and a lower module 161. These modules are sealingly attached to the envelopes but removable.
- Each module 16 comprises upper 18S and lower ventilation means 181 and upper 20S and lower filtration means 201.
- the upper ventilation means 18S inject air into the upper part, that is to say inject peripheral ambient air to the insulator in the confinement of the envelope enclosure of said insulator. There is no recycling.
- the ambient air is itself already treated, generally in class D or ISO 8, that is to say 3,500,000 particles ⁇ 0.5 ⁇ ⁇ maximum, so as not to saturate the filtration means.
- the lower ventilation means 18f extract air adapted class A or B from the envelope of the insulator in the lower part, outwards.
- the introduction in the upper part and the extraction in the lower part generate an air flow in a substantially vertical direction in the confinement enclosure constituted by the envelope, the circulation being substantially laminar.
- the filtration means are advantageously constituted by a filter of the type marketed under the name HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) H 14, laminar flow or any equivalent filter.
- HEPA High Efficiency Particulate Air
- the filter surface covers the majority of the upper and lower faces so as to generate a laminar flow over the entire section of the envelope.
- Each insulator comprises at the output a control valve 22 of the internal pressure of the envelope 12.
- the insulator according to the invention emits a laminar air flow from the top to the bottom, which is filtered at the inlet and at the outlet during normal operation or filtered at the outlet which has become input during an accidental re-aspiration, for example linked to a defect of the installation, thus preserving the products confined in the envelope 12.
- the filter is pre-mounted on the envelope by sealed flanges bound to the envelope.
- the ventilation means are attached to the flanges to blow or extract the air through the corresponding filter.
- the ventilation means are fixed on the framework by nuts. Just change the envelope to put the device back into operation.
- a conditioning and filling chain 24 comprising two insulators 24-1 and 24-2 for conditioning, classes A and B, a preparation isolator 24- 3 and an insulator for introducing raw materials. 24-4.
- Airlock can connect two insulators juxtaposed on demand, this connection is voluntary and controlled by the operator.
- the insulator of introduction of raw materials 24-4 comprises the containers of products to be packaged, possibly to be mixed beforehand, in the form of fluids and / or pastes and / or powders, the final containers, the weight control means and / or volume, necessary for dosages.
- These products are usually packaged and gamma ray bombarded to sterilize the contents. These products are placed in the feed insulator 24-4 to undergo sterilization with nitrogen or hydrogen peroxide. They are then transferred to the insulator 24-3 where they are unpacked to remove the packaging, this also under nitrogen or hydrogen peroxide to maintain the external sterilization of the products.
- Containers and other packaging tools are introduced into the 24-2 Class B isolator.
- the packages remain in the 24-3 isolator.
- the insulator 24-2 has filters identical to those of the insulator 24-1 but the pressure P2 prevailing in this insulator 24-2 is lower than the pressure prevailing in the insulator 24-1.
- the containers and other tools are therefore treated in this first isolator in order to remove the particles and put them in condition to access the final class A conditioning insulator in which the particle ratio as indicated in the preamble, is very limit.
- the operator can unclog the containers and ensure the dosing and filling of containers of reduced volumes, make the preparations and any mixing operations beforehand if necessary, this in class A atmosphere, therefore without the possibility of introducing particles into the reduced volume packages simultaneously with the product or mixture of products.
- the content of containers of reduced volume is therefore sterile.
- FIG. 4 represents a possibility of industrially producing a single insulator with the products and packaging tools with containers of reduced volume directly in the enclosure, the various steps having been previously carried out industrially.
- the isolator is then a pre-sterilized Class A isolator directly because there is no need for additional sterilization.
- the insulator can also be sterilized on site with Nitrogen or Hydrogen Peroxide. Insulators are also often re-sterilized before destruction especially when the repackaging has targeted sensitive products BSL2 (Biosafety Level 2) or BSL3 (Biosafety Level 3) involving microbes.
- BSL2 Biosafety Level 2
- BSL3 Biosafety Level 3
