Description

本発明は、複数の原料から目的成分が所定濃度に調整された、無菌性の、薬液を得るための薬液調合装置、及び薬液調合方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a chemical liquid preparation apparatus and a chemical liquid preparation method for obtaining a sterile chemical liquid in which target components are adjusted to a predetermined concentration from a plurality of raw materials.

従来より目的成分が所定濃度に調整された無菌性の薬液を得るための好適な手段が求められている。例えば、医療に用いられる注射剤がそのような薬液に該当し、それを得るためのよりよい手段が必要とされている。注射剤は、例えば、薬効成分となる液体化合物又は粉末等の固形物と、精製滅菌された注射用水と、を混合し、溶解させ、その液体化合物又は固形物中の薬効成分を所定の濃度とした、無菌性の、薬液として製造される。   Conventionally, a suitable means for obtaining a sterile chemical solution in which a target component is adjusted to a predetermined concentration has been demanded. For example, an injection used for medical treatment corresponds to such a chemical solution, and a better means for obtaining it is required. The injection is prepared by, for example, mixing a liquid compound or powdered solid substance as a medicinal component with purified water for injection for dissolution, and dissolving the medicinal component in the liquid compound or solid at a predetermined concentration. Manufactured as a sterile chemical solution.

注射剤は、当然ながら、薬効成分の濃度及び無菌性について、厳しい条件が課せられたものであるため、注射剤の製造に使用する手段である調合装置も、高い濃度の精度を実現し、無菌状態を保持し得るものである必要がある。尚、目的成分が所定濃度に調整された無菌性の薬液を得るための手段について、先行文献は存在しないようである。   Of course, since injections are subject to strict conditions regarding the concentration and sterility of medicinal ingredients, the compounding device, which is the means used to manufacture injections, also achieves high concentration accuracy and is sterile. It must be able to maintain state. In addition, there seems to be no prior literature regarding means for obtaining an aseptic drug solution whose target component is adjusted to a predetermined concentration.

しかしながら、例えば、調合装置を構成するタンクに入った液量を測定するために、フロートスイッチ及びフロート式液面計を使用すると、液量が精度よく測れず、混合すべき液体化合物乃至注射用水の量が変動してしまう場合がある。又、フロート式液面計を構成する配管は細くて滅菌性、洗浄性に劣るため、生菌の発生を抑制することが困難である。そのため、無菌の液体化合物及び注射用水を用いても、無菌状態が維持された高品質の注射剤を歩留まりよく製造することが困難であるという問題があった。   However, for example, when a float switch and a float type liquid level gauge are used to measure the amount of liquid that has entered the tank constituting the preparation device, the amount of liquid cannot be measured accurately, and the liquid compound or water for injection to be mixed cannot be measured. The amount may fluctuate. Moreover, since the piping which comprises a float type liquid level gauge is thin and is inferior to sterilization and washing | cleaning property, it is difficult to suppress generation | occurrence | production of a living microbe. For this reason, there is a problem that it is difficult to produce a high-quality injection with a high sterility while maintaining a high yield even when using a sterile liquid compound and water for injection.

本発明は、上述の問題に鑑みなされたものであり、高い歩留まり、高い回収率で目的成分が所定濃度に調整され無菌性である高品質の薬液を得るための好適な手段を提供することを課題とする。その課題を解決すべく研究が重ねられた結果、以下に示す手段によって、解決し得ることが見出され、本発明が完成した。   The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and provides a suitable means for obtaining a high-quality chemical solution in which a target component is adjusted to a predetermined concentration with high yield and high recovery rate and is sterile.

所定のバッチ毎とは、一バッチ以上の予め定めた頻度を意味し、一バッチ毎であってもよい。その頻度は、例えば、バイオロジカルインディケータ、ケミカルインディケータ等を利用して、装置系内の無菌性を確認すること等によって決定することが出来る。   Each predetermined batch means a predetermined frequency of one batch or more, and may be every batch. The frequency can be determined, for example, by confirming sterility within the apparatus system using a biological indicator, a chemical indicator, or the like.

Therefore, it is possible to mix a plurality of raw materials with high accuracy according to a predetermined ratio. That is, it is easy to prepare a chemical solution with high accuracy. Further, since the load cell or pressure gauge can be installed outside the tank, it does not come into contact with the liquid and has good sterilization and cleaning properties. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a chemical solution (prepared solution) in which the target component is adjusted to a predetermined concentration while maintaining the sterile condition without contaminating the raw material with live bacteria. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a high-quality chemical solution that is sterile and has a target component adjusted to a predetermined concentration with a high yield.

In addition, the preparation tank, the filter, and the filtrate tank are installed so as to be lower in that order, and at least the communication main flow path connecting the preparation tank and the filter and the filter and the filtrate tank is 1/100 or more. Since it is formed with a gradient, accumulation or the like hardly occurs here. Therefore, it is easy to maintain a sterilized state, and it is possible to avoid the problem that the concentration of the target component of the chemical solution prepared in the preparation tank is caused by unintended mixing of the residual solution. Moreover, the prepared chemical solution can be recovered at a high recovery rate, and further, the head loss (energy) required for the transfer can be reduced, and the device is an energy saving device. The liquid level of the prepared solution in the preparation tank is reduced. The supply pressure of the sterilized gas required for transferring the preparation liquid by pressing can be further reduced.

本発明に係る薬液調合装置は、好ましくは原液乃至調製液の脱酸素に用いられる不活性ガスを調製槽へ供給するガス供給手段を備え、調製槽の内部においてそのガス供給手段である流路の先端にバブリングノズルを設けているので、調製された薬液の変化(酸化、劣化)を防止することが出来る。又、調製槽の内部で好気性生菌の増殖を抑制するのに有利である。   The chemical liquid preparation apparatus according to the present invention preferably includes a gas supply means for supplying an inert gas used for deoxygenation of the stock solution or the preparation liquid to the preparation tank, and the flow path that is the gas supply means in the preparation tank is provided.

Since the flow path or the cleaning liquid supply flow path is provided, the shaft can be reliably sterilized or cleaned, and the preparation tank is hardly contaminated from the outside of the seal portion between the preparation tank and the rotating shaft.

本発明に係る薬液調合装置は、好ましくは調製槽と濾過器、及び濾過器と濾液槽を接続する連絡主流路を分岐する弁が三方弁であるため、弁由来の液溜まりが極少なくなり、回収率が高まり、生菌の発生、薬液にかかる目的成分の濃度の変動のおそれが小さくなる。   The chemical liquid preparation device according to the present invention is preferably a three-way valve that branches the communication main flow path connecting the preparation tank and the filter, and the filter and the filtrate tank. The rate is increased, and the risk of generation of viable bacteria and fluctuations in the concentration of the target component in the chemical solution is reduced.

本発明に係る薬液調合装置は、好ましくは調製槽と濾過器、及び濾過器と濾液槽を接続する連絡主流路から分岐した複数の排液流路を有し、その複数の排液流路を濾過器の一次側と二次側とで縁切りしているので、二次側を滅菌した後に、一次側の排液等が逆流して無菌状態が破られるおそれが小さく、より確実に、薬液の無菌性を維持することが出来る。   The chemical liquid preparation device according to the present invention preferably has a plurality of drainage channels branched from a communication main channel connecting the preparation tank and the filter, and the filter and the filtrate tank. Since the primary side and the secondary side of the filter are cut off, the sterilization of the secondary side after the secondary side is sterilized is less likely to reverse the sterility and the sterilization state is reduced. Sterility can be maintained.

For example, if the same filter is used to filter a liquid (chemical solution) having a lower permeation rate and a higher viscosity, it takes a lot of time unless the pressure is changed, and the processing efficiency of the apparatus decreases. According to the preferred embodiment, since it can be replaced with a filter having a larger size (wide filtration area), such a situation can be avoided. In general, in a filter, if the liquid to be filtered is the same and the pore diameter is the same, the larger the filtration area, the shorter the filtration time can be.

薬液調合装置1において、図示されない窒素製造装置等から窒素ガスが供給され、導入主配管23を経て分岐した、ガス供給手段を構成する弁74が備わる専用の配管64によって、その窒素ガスは調製槽2へ導入される。そして、調製槽2の内部において、配管64の先端にはバブリングノズル38が備わる。バブリングノズル38を通じて、調製槽2で調製された注射剤中に窒素ガスの細かな気泡が吹き出されると、注射剤に含まれる酸素は気中に移動し注射剤が脱酸素される。   In the chemical compounding apparatus 1, the nitrogen gas is supplied from a nitrogen production apparatus (not shown) and branched through the introduction main pipe 23, and the nitrogen gas is prepared by a dedicated pipe 64 provided with a valve 74 constituting gas supply means. 2 is introduced. A bubbling nozzle 38 is provided at the tip of the pipe 64 inside the preparation tank 2. When fine bubbles of nitrogen gas are blown into the injection prepared in the preparation tank 2 through the bubbling nozzle 38, oxygen contained in the injection moves into the air and the injection is deoxygenated.

薬液調合装置1において、無菌フィルタ3は、親水性のPVDF(ポリフッ化ビニリデン)及びPP(ポリプロピレン)からなるフィルタエレメントを、少なくとも内部の表面に電解研磨仕上が施されたステンレス(SUS316L)製のハウジング(容器)に納めたものであり、その濾過精度は、例えば0.22μmである。   In the chemical preparation apparatus 1, the aseptic filter 3 is a stainless steel (SUS316L) housing in which at least an inner surface of a filter element made of hydrophilic PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) and PP (polypropylene) is subjected to electrolytic polishing finish. The filtration accuracy is 0.22 μm, for example.

尚、薬液調合装置1は無菌フィルタを1基有するが、本発明に係る薬液調合装置においては、図7に示されるように、無菌フィルタを直列2段で構成することが出来る。この場合には、前段の無菌フィルタと後段の無菌フィルタは、同じ濾過精度とすることが望ましい。二重化により、より安全性が向上するからである。   In addition, although the chemical | medical solution preparation apparatus 1 has one aseptic filter, in the chemical | medical solution preparation apparatus which concerns on this invention, as FIG. 7 shows, an aseptic filter can be comprised in 2 steps | paragraphs in series. In this case, it is desirable that the front-stage aseptic filter and the subsequent-stage aseptic filter have the same filtration accuracy. This is because the duplexing improves safety.

薬液調合装置1では、無菌フィルタ3自体の一次側であって無菌フィルタ3に接続される連絡主配管21と離れた位置に接続されたエア抜き配管86が備わる。そして、そのエア抜き配管86には、エアの存在の有無を検出する検出器として、音叉式のレベルスイッチ39(図1中のLS)が設けられる。又、連絡主配管21の無菌フィルタ3の入口近傍には圧力計40(図1中の無菌フィルタ3近傍のPIA)が設けられ、無菌フィルタ3の詰まりによる圧力上昇(異常)を検知する。   The chemical compounding apparatus 1 includes an air vent pipe 86 that is connected to the primary side of the aseptic filter 3 itself and away from the communication main pipe 21 connected to the aseptic filter 3. The air vent pipe 86 is provided with a tuning fork type level switch 39 (LS in FIG. 1) as a detector for detecting the presence or absence of air. Further, a pressure gauge 40 (PIA near the sterile filter 3 in FIG. 1) is provided near the inlet of the sterile filter 3 of the communication main pipe 21 to detect a pressure increase (abnormality) due to clogging of the sterile filter 3.

尚、図1に示される薬液調合装置1では明示されていないが、本発明に係る薬液調合装置では、無菌フィルタ(濾過器)に接続される配管(流路)にアダプタとして短管を設けることにより、サイズの異なる無菌フィルタを使用することが出来る。その一例を図8(a)、図8(b)に示す。例えば、図8(a)に示されるように、無菌フィルタ181を設置する際に、エア抜き配管184に接続される短管183を設けておけば、エア抜き配管184に接続される方向(図中において上方向)に、無菌フィルタ181より長い無菌フィルタ182に入れ替えることが可能である。   Although not clearly shown in the chemical liquid preparation device 1 shown in FIG. 1, in the chemical liquid preparation device according to the present invention, a short pipe is provided as an adapter in a pipe (flow path) connected to a sterile filter (filter). Thus, aseptic filters of different sizes can be used. An example is shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B. For example, as shown in FIG. 8 (a), when the aseptic filter 181 is installed, if a short pipe 183 connected to the air vent pipe 184 is provided, the direction of connection to the air vent pipe 184 (see FIG. 8). It is possible to replace the aseptic filter 182 longer than the aseptic filter 181 in the upward direction.

薬液調合装置1において、調製槽2で調製され無菌フィルタ3で無菌濾過されて得られた注射剤は、弁55〜57が備わる連絡主配管22、及びその先端の液導入管42を通じて、濾液槽4へ受け入れられる。   In the liquid medicine preparation apparatus 1, the injection prepared by the preparation tank 2 and subjected to aseptic filtration with the sterile filter 3 passes through the communication main pipe 22 provided with the valves 55 to 57 and the liquid introduction pipe 42 at the tip thereof to the filtrate tank. Accepted to 4.

濾液槽4は、無菌フィルタ3と連絡主配管22で接続され、無菌フィルタ3で無菌濾過された無菌の注射剤を受け入れるステンレス(SUS316L)製のタンクである。濾液槽4は、調製槽2と同様に、少なくとも内部の表面には電解研磨仕上が施され、金属イオン等の溶出防止が図られるとともに、汚れ等を構成する物質の沈着が防止され洗浄性の向上が図られる。更に、最深部に排出口を備えた完全排出構造にすることで、注射剤の残留防止、及びポンプを用いない移送への適応容易化が図られている。   The filtrate tank 4 is a stainless steel (SUS316L) tank that is connected to the sterile filter 3 through the communication main pipe 22 and receives a sterile injection that is sterile filtered by the sterile filter 3. Like the preparation tank 2, the filtrate tank 4 is subjected to electrolytic polishing finish at least on the inner surface to prevent elution of metal ions and the like, and the deposition of substances constituting dirt and the like is prevented, and the washing tank is clean. Improvement is achieved. Furthermore, by adopting a complete discharge structure having a discharge port at the deepest part, it is possible to prevent the remaining of the injection and to facilitate adaptation to transfer without using a pump.

薬液調合装置1では、注射剤は、次工程(例えば充填機)へ送られる前に、この濾液槽に貯留され、その注射剤を濾液槽4から更に次工程へ移送するために無菌エアが使用される。薬液調合装置1において、図示されないコンプレッサ等から送られた圧縮エアが、予め滅菌処理されたベントフィルタ44によって無菌濾過され、配管65を介して、無菌エアとして濾液槽4へ供給される。その無菌エアの供給によって濾液槽4の中の注射剤の液面が押圧され、注射剤は、ポンプによらずに、最深部に排出口を備えた完全排出構造を有する濾液槽4のその最深部から送出主配管24を介して、次工程へ移送される。   In the chemical liquid preparation device 1, the injection is stored in this filtrate tank before being sent to the next process (for example, a filling machine), and aseptic air is used to transfer the injection from the filtrate tank 4 to the next process. Is done. In the chemical liquid preparation apparatus 1, compressed air sent from a compressor (not shown) or the like is aseptically filtered by a vent filter 44 that has been sterilized in advance, and is supplied to the filtrate tank 4 as sterile air via a pipe 65. The liquid level of the injection in the filtrate tank 4 is pressed by the supply of the sterilized air, and the injection is not the pump, and the deepest part of the filtrate tank 4 having a complete discharge structure having a discharge port at the deepest part. From the part, it is transferred to the next process via the delivery main pipe 24.

薬液調合装置1において、濾液槽4には圧力計46(図1中の濾液槽4のPIA)が備わり、その内部圧力は、常時、監視されていて、予め規定された圧力以上に上昇したときは異常と判断され、警報が発せられ、濾液槽4へ無菌エアを導入することによる注射液の移送は中止される。   In the chemical compounding apparatus 1, the filtrate tank 4 is provided with a pressure gauge 46 (PIA of the filtrate tank 4 in FIG. 1), and its internal pressure is constantly monitored and when the pressure rises to a predetermined pressure or higher. Is judged abnormal, an alarm is issued, and the transfer of the injection solution by introducing sterile air into the filtrate tank 4 is stopped.

薬液調合装置1において、導入主配管23から分岐した配管67を経て、導入主配管22に入り、更に分岐した配管66を経て、スチーム及び洗浄液が濾液槽4へ導入される。配管66は、濾液槽4の概ね中心天井部分から内部に挿入される。そして、先端には、濾液槽4の内部においてシャワーボール45が備わる。   In the chemical liquid blending apparatus 1, the steam and the cleaning liquid are introduced into the filtrate tank 4 through the pipe 67 branched from the introduction main pipe 23 and then into the introduction main pipe 22 and further through the branched pipe 66. The piping 66 is inserted into the filtrate tank 4 from the substantially central ceiling portion. A shower ball 45 is provided at the tip inside the filtrate tank 4.

上記した配管66及びシャワーボール45によって供給されるスチーム及び界面活性剤は、主に濾液槽4の内部を洗浄乃至滅菌するために使用される。濾液槽4には、温度計47(図1中の濾液槽4のTISA)が備わり、スチームの温度が監視され、スチームの温度が規定範囲から外れている等の異常時には警報が発せられ滅菌動作は中止される。   The steam and the surfactant supplied by the pipe 66 and the shower ball 45 are mainly used for cleaning or sterilizing the inside of the filtrate tank 4. The filtrate tank 4 is equipped with a thermometer 47 (TISA of the filtrate tank 4 in FIG. 1), the temperature of the steam is monitored, and an alarm is issued in the event of an abnormality such as the steam temperature being out of the specified range, and sterilization operation is performed. Is canceled.

薬液調合装置1では、洗浄乃至滅菌に伴う排液は、排液主配管81に合流して、排水処理(又は下水)へ排出されるが、無菌フィルタ3より二次側の排液は、ブローポット5によって一次側の排液と縁切りされ、一次側の排液が二次側の連絡主配管22へ逆流することがない。即ち、無菌フィルタ3より一次側の排液は、排液配管83、エア抜き配管86、無菌フィルタ自体の排液配管84を経て、排液主配管81に合流するが、フロー図である図1の通りに排液主配管81より高い位置にブローポット5が配設され、二次側の排液は、排液配管82を経てブローポット5を介して、排液主配管81に合流する。従って、一次側の排液が排液主配管81に合流したときに背圧がかかっても、エア抜き配管86及び排液配管83,84に戻るか又はブローポット5内に進入するに止まり、排液配管82から連絡主配管22へ混入して、無菌フィルタ3より二次側の汚染を招来することがない。   In the chemical liquid preparation device 1, the drainage liquid associated with cleaning or sterilization joins the drainage main pipe 81 and is discharged to the wastewater treatment (or sewage), but the secondary drainage from the aseptic filter 3 is blown. The pot 5 is cut off from the primary side drainage, so that the primary side drainage does not flow back to the secondary main communication pipe 22. That is, the primary drainage from the aseptic filter 3 is joined to the drainage main pipe 81 through the drainage pipe 83, the air vent pipe 86, and the drainage pipe 84 of the aseptic filter itself. As described above, the blow pot 5 is disposed at a position higher than the drainage main pipe 81, and the secondary side drainage fluid joins the drainage main pipe 81 via the drainage pipe 82 and the blowpot 5. Therefore, even if back pressure is applied when the drainage on the primary side joins the drainage main pipe 81, it returns to the air vent pipe 86 and drainage pipes 83, 84 or only enters the blow pot 5, There is no possibility of contamination from the drainage pipe 82 into the communication main pipe 22 and secondary contamination from the aseptic filter 3.

ところで、先に、本発明に係る薬液調合装置では、無菌フィルタを直列2段で構成することが出来ると記し、その例を図7に示したが、薬液調合装置1において無菌フィルタを直列2段で構成した場合の、エア抜き配管及び排液配管の接続先について、図7を参照して説明する。無菌フィルタが1段の場合に準じて、1段目の無菌フィルタのエア抜き配管及び1段目の無菌フィルタ自体の排液配管は排液主配管81へ接続し、2段目の無菌フィルタの二次側の排液配管はブローポット5へ接続する。無菌フィルタを2段にすることで新たに生じる2段目の無菌フィルタのエア抜き配管及び1段目と2段目の間の排液配管は、無菌性を維持するためブローポット5へ接続する。一方、2段目の無菌フィルタ自体の排液配管は、注射剤を無菌濾過する工程で使用せず無菌性を維持する必要がないので、排液主配管81へ接続する。   By the way, in the chemical liquid preparation device according to the present invention, it is described that the aseptic filter can be configured in two stages in series, and an example thereof is shown in FIG. With reference to FIG. 7, the connection destination of the air vent pipe and the drainage pipe in the case of the above will be described. In accordance with the case of the first stage sterile filter, the air vent pipe of the first stage sterile filter and the drain pipe of the first stage sterile filter itself are connected to the drainage main pipe 81, and the second stage sterile filter The drainage pipe on the secondary side is connected to the blow pot 5. In order to maintain sterility, the air vent piping of the second stage sterile filter newly generated by making the sterile filter two stages and the drain pipe between the first stage and the second stage are connected to the blow pot 5. . On the other hand, the drainage pipe of the second-stage sterile filter itself is not used in the step of aseptically filtering the injection and does not need to maintain sterility, and is connected to the drainage main pipe 81.

尚、薬液調合装置1において、ブローポット5に設けられるベントフィルタ48は、PTFE(ポリ四フッ化エチレン)及びPP(ポリプロピレン)からなるフィルタエレメントを、少なくとも内部の表面に電解研磨仕上が施されたステンレス(SUS316L)製のハウジング(容器)に納めたものであり、その濾過精度は、例えば0.2乃至0.45μmである。又、排液主配管81には温度計49が備わり、配管21,22、無菌フィルタ3、バルブ51,54,55,56、ブローポット5、ベントフィルタ48の滅菌時におけるスチームの温度が監視され、スチームの温度が規定範囲から外れている等の異常時には警報が発せられ滅菌動作は中止される。   In the chemical liquid blending apparatus 1, the vent filter 48 provided in the blow pot 5 has a filter element made of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) and PP (polypropylene) at least subjected to electrolytic polishing on the inner surface. It is housed in a stainless steel (SUS316L) housing (container), and the filtration accuracy is, for example, 0.2 to 0.45 μm. The drain main pipe 81 is provided with a thermometer 49 for monitoring the temperature of steam during sterilization of the pipes 21 and 22, the aseptic filter 3, the valves 51, 54, 55 and 56, the blow pot 5, and the vent filter 48. When the temperature of the steam is outside the specified range, an alarm is issued and the sterilization operation is stopped.

薬液調合装置1において、連絡主配管21,22に備わる弁51,54,55,56,57は、全て三方弁であり、その他の弁も三方弁を多用している。薬液調合装置1では、図5(a)、図5(b)に示される三方弁と、図6(a)、図6(b)に示される三方弁の、2種類の三方弁を使用しており、前者は、直線方向の流れと3方向の流れを切り換えることが出来るという特徴を有し、後者は、L字方向と3方向の流れを切り換えることが出来るという特徴を有し、適宜、使い分けられる。尚、弁の切り換えについては、特開2003−207086号公報に、ターンテーブルを回転させて弁を自動的に切り換える方法が提案されている。   In the chemical compounding apparatus 1, the valves 51, 54, 55, 56, and 57 provided in the communication main pipes 21 and 22 are all three-way valves, and the other valves frequently use three-way valves. The chemical compounding apparatus 1 uses two types of three-way valves, that is, the three-way valve shown in FIGS. 5 (a) and 5 (b) and the three-way valve shown in FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (b). The former has a feature that the flow in the linear direction and the flow in the three directions can be switched, and the latter has a feature that the flow in the L-shape and the three directions can be switched. Can be used properly. As for switching of the valve, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-207086 proposes a method of automatically switching the valve by rotating the turntable.

薬液調合装置1では、三方弁を多用し、少なくとも連絡主配管21,22に備わるを全て三方弁にすることによって、弁由来の液溜まりを少なくしている。仮に、図2に示されるように、無菌フィルタ周りの弁を二方弁にすると、図3のように通液される場合には、配管に液溜まり部101,102が生まれ、図4のように通液される場合には、配管に液溜まり部103,104が生まれ、注射剤を汚染したり、注射剤の目的成分の濃度を変動させる要因になり得るが、薬液調合装置1では、そのような問題が生じ難い。尚、図3、図4において、図中の太線が通液される配管を表している。   In the chemical preparation apparatus 1, a three-way valve is frequently used, and at least the communication main pipes 21 and 22 are all made into three-way valves, thereby reducing a liquid pool derived from the valves. As shown in FIG. 2, when the valve around the sterile filter is a two-way valve, when liquid is passed as shown in FIG. 3, liquid reservoirs 101 and 102 are created in the pipe, as shown in FIG. When the liquid is passed through, the liquid reservoirs 103 and 104 are born in the pipe, which may contaminate the injection or cause the concentration of the target component of the injection to fluctuate. Such problems are unlikely to occur. In FIGS. 3 and 4, the thick line in the figure represents the pipe through which the liquid is passed.

以上、本発明に係る薬液調合装置について説明したが、次いで、本発明に係る薬液調合方法について説明する。本発明に係る薬液調合方法は、複数の原料から目的成分が所定濃度に調整された無菌性の薬液を得る方法であるが、以下の説明においては、図1に示される薬液調合装置1を用いて、複数の原料として注射用水と一定の薬効成分を含む液体化合物とを用い、それらの混合をした後に無菌濾過して、目的とする薬効成分が所定濃度に調整された無菌性の注射剤(薬液に相当)を得る方法として説明する。   The chemical liquid preparation apparatus according to the present invention has been described above. Next, the chemical liquid preparation method according to the present invention will be described. The chemical solution preparation method according to the present invention is a method for obtaining an aseptic chemical solution having a target component adjusted to a predetermined concentration from a plurality of raw materials. In the following description, the chemical solution preparation device 1 shown in FIG. 1 is used. As a plurality of raw materials, water for injection and a liquid compound containing a certain medicinal component are mixed, and after aseptic filtration, a sterile injectable preparation whose target medicinal component is adjusted to a predetermined concentration ( This will be described as a method for obtaining a chemical solution.

本発明に係る薬液調合方法では、薬液調合装置1を用いて注射剤の調製を行うとき、その一バッチ毎に(注射剤の調製工程一回毎に)、薬液調合装置1の導入主配管23、バブリングノズル38、シャワーボール35、攪拌機のシャフト31、排液配管82〜84、エア抜き配管86を、複数段階に分けて、より好ましくは個別に分けて、洗浄を行う。そして、好ましくは、同じ箇所の滅菌を、注射剤の調製の所定のバッチ毎に、複数段階に分けて行う。   In the chemical solution preparation method according to the present invention, when the injection preparation is prepared using the chemical preparation device 1, the introduction main pipe 23 of the chemical preparation device 1 is used for each batch (for each injection preparation step). The bubbling nozzle 38, the shower ball 35, the shaft 31 of the stirrer, the drainage pipes 82 to 84, and the air vent pipe 86 are divided into a plurality of stages, and more preferably individually, for cleaning. And preferably, sterilization of the same portion is performed in a plurality of stages for each predetermined batch of preparation of the injection.

そこで、以下、注射剤の調製工程に加えて、上記各箇所を滅菌する工程について、図9〜図16を参酌しながら説明する。尚、滅菌においてはスチームを使用するが、洗浄においては、スチームの代わりに例えば洗浄液を使用すること以外は概ね滅菌に準じるので、洗浄についての説明は省略する。又、図9〜図16において符号及び名称は省略されているが、図9〜図16は薬液調合装置1によって各工程を表したフロー図であり、以下の説明は、図1に基づいた符号及び名称を使用して行う。図9〜図16において、図中の太線がスチームが通じる配管を表す。   Therefore, hereinafter, in addition to the preparation of the injection, the step of sterilizing each part will be described with reference to FIGS. In the sterilization, steam is used, but in the cleaning, except for using, for example, a cleaning solution instead of the steam, generally, the sterilization is performed, and thus the description of the cleaning is omitted. 9 to 16, the reference numerals and names are omitted, but FIGS. 9 to 16 are flowcharts showing the respective steps by the chemical liquid preparation device 1, and the following description is based on the reference numerals in FIG. 1. And using the name. 9-16, the thick line in a figure represents piping which a steam leads.

先ず、注射剤の調製工程について説明する。図9及び図10は、注射剤の調製工程を表すフロー図であり、図9は、その調製工程を更に細分した一工程である濾過工程を示し、図10は同様に濾液ラインエア押し工程を示す。   First, an injection preparation process will be described. FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 are flowcharts showing the preparation process of an injection, FIG. 9 shows a filtration process that is a further subdivision of the preparation process, and FIG. 10 similarly shows a filtrate line air pushing process. Show.

注射剤の調製工程では、濾過工程(図9)に入る前に、導入主配管23及び液導入管32を通じて、先ず、注射用水が調製槽2へ導入され、ロードセル33によって、その液量が測定される。次いで、ロードセル33によって測定しながら液体化合物が所定の液量だけ加えられる。そして、調製槽2の攪拌機によって、それらが充分に混合され、液体化合物にかかる薬効成分が所定濃度になった注射剤が得られる(狭義の調製工程)。   In the injection preparation process, before entering the filtration process (FIG. 9), water for injection is first introduced into the preparation tank 2 through the introduction main pipe 23 and the liquid introduction pipe 32, and the amount of the liquid is measured by the load cell 33. Is done. Next, the liquid compound is added by a predetermined amount while being measured by the load cell 33. And they are fully mixed by the stirrer of the preparation tank 2, and the injection which the medicinal component concerning a liquid compound became a predetermined density | concentration is obtained (a narrowly-defined preparation process).

そして、図9に示される濾過工程が行われる。濾過工程では、無菌エアがベントフィルタ34を通じて調製槽2へ導入され、それによって調製槽2の中の注射剤の液面が押圧され、注射剤は、ポンプによらずに、最深部に排出口を備えた完全排出構造を有する調製槽2のその最深部から、連絡主配管21を介して無菌フィルタ3へ送られ、無菌フィルタ3で濾過され無菌処理がなされ、連絡主配管22を介して濾液槽4へ移送される。   And the filtration process shown by FIG. 9 is performed. In the filtration step, aseptic air is introduced into the preparation tank 2 through the vent filter 34, thereby pressing the liquid level of the injection in the preparation tank 2, and the injection is discharged to the deepest part without using a pump. From the deepest part of the preparation tank 2 having a complete discharge structure, the liquid is sent to the sterilizing filter 3 through the communication main pipe 21, filtered through the sterilization filter 3 and sterilized, and filtrated through the communication main pipe 22. It is transferred to the tank 4.

濾過工程だけでは、無菌フィルタの二次側である連絡主配管22中の注射液を濾液槽4へ押し出すことは困難である。又、無菌フィルタのフィルタエレメントの圧力損失により、二次側にかかる圧力は、低くなるので、無菌フィルタの二次側には一次側よりも調製剤が残留し易くなるという事情がある。そこで、続いて、図10に示される濾液ラインエア押し工程を行う。濾液ラインエア押し工程では、無菌エアが濾液槽4側から弁77を経由して連絡主配管22へ供給され、連絡主配管22中の注射液は完全に濾液槽4へ押し出され、連絡主配管22中に注射剤は残留しない。そして、圧縮エアがベントフィルタ44を通じて無菌化され濾液槽4へ導入され、それによって濾液槽4の中の注射剤の液面が押圧され、注射剤は、ポンプによらずに、最深部に排出口を備えた完全排出構造を有する濾液槽4のその最深部から、送出主配管24を介して次工程(充填機)へ送られる。即ち、注射剤の調製工程は、薬液調合装置の系内に液が存在しない状態から始まり系内の液を全て送出して終わり、この一回の処理が一バッチである。尚、注射剤の調製工程は、次に説明する滅菌工程(及び洗浄工程)によって薬液調合装置が無菌化された後に行われることはいうまでもない。   It is difficult to push the injection solution in the communication main pipe 22 that is the secondary side of the sterile filter into the filtrate tank 4 only by the filtration step. In addition, since the pressure applied to the secondary side is lowered due to the pressure loss of the filter element of the sterile filter, there is a situation that the preparation agent remains on the secondary side of the sterile filter more easily than the primary side. Then, subsequently, the filtrate line air pushing process shown in FIG. 10 is performed. In the filtrate line air pushing step, aseptic air is supplied from the filtrate tank 4 side to the communication main pipe 22 via the valve 77, and the injection solution in the communication main pipe 22 is completely pushed out to the filtrate tank 4, and the communication main pipe. No injection remains in 22. Then, the compressed air is sterilized through the vent filter 44 and introduced into the filtrate tank 4, whereby the liquid level of the injection in the filtrate tank 4 is pressed, and the injection is discharged to the deepest part without using a pump. From the deepest part of the filtrate tank 4 having a complete discharge structure with an outlet, it is sent to the next process (filling machine) via the delivery main pipe 24. That is, the injection preparation process starts from a state where no liquid is present in the system of the chemical liquid preparation apparatus, and finishes by sending out all the liquids in the system, and this one process is one batch. Needless to say, the injection preparation process is performed after the chemical compounding apparatus is sterilized by the sterilization process (and washing process) described below.

次に、各滅菌工程について説明する。図11は、導入主配管の滅菌工程を表すフロー図である。導入主配管の滅菌工程では、弁53,52の操作により、スチーム(滅菌用蒸気)が、導入主配管23から液導入管32を経て調製槽2の内部へ導入される。この工程の処理によって、導入主配管23及び液導入管32に加えて、調製槽2の内部、及び調製槽2に取り付けられたベントフィルタ34が、主に滅菌される。   Next, each sterilization process will be described. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the sterilization process of the introduction main pipe. In the sterilization process of the introduction main pipe, steam (sterilization steam) is introduced into the preparation tank 2 from the introduction main pipe 23 through the liquid introduction pipe 32 by the operation of the valves 53 and 52. By the process of this step, in addition to the introduction main pipe 23 and the liquid introduction pipe 32, the inside of the preparation tank 2 and the vent filter 34 attached to the preparation tank 2 are mainly sterilized.

図12は、シャワーボールの滅菌工程を表すフロー図である。シャワーボールの滅菌工程では、弁53,72の操作により、スチームが、導入主配管23から配管62を経て、2つのシャワーボール35から調製槽2の内部へ導入される。この工程の処理によって、シャワーボール35に加えて、導入主配管23、配管62、調製槽2の内部、攪拌機のシャフト31、及び調製槽2に取り付けられたベントフィルタ34が、主に滅菌される。   FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing a shower ball sterilization process. In the shower ball sterilization process, steam is introduced from the two shower balls 35 into the preparation tank 2 through the pipe 62 from the introduction main pipe 23 by operating the valves 53 and 72. By this process, in addition to the shower ball 35, the introduction main pipe 23, the pipe 62, the inside of the preparation tank 2, the shaft 31 of the stirrer, and the vent filter 34 attached to the preparation tank 2 are mainly sterilized. .
