Definitions
- the invention relates to sterile containers and the use of sterile containers as primary packaging in the pharmaceutical industry.
- EP-A-801 952 discloses a method for sterilizing containers using low-pressure plasma.
- the plasma ignited in the interior of the container can become inhomogeneous in the region of the filling opening. This may not only lead to an undesirable heating of the container in the
- the object is therefore to provide sterile containers.
- the object of the invention is achieved by sterile containers, one or more containers being gas-permeable and microbiologically tightly packed and plasma being sterilized.
- a preferred embodiment of the invention are sterile containers, the packaging of one or more containers having at least one gas-permeable and microbiologically sealed seal and at least one gas-permeable and microbiologically sealed packaging.
- the containers sterilized in this way can be sealed and packed and sent to the user. It has been shown that very good results are achieved when the containers are sterilized in a packaging sealed and repackaged according to the invention.
- the containers intended for sterilization can be located in a rigid or flexible packaging container which is sealed with a gas-permeable and microbiologically sealed lid.
- the sealed packaging is additionally repackaged with at least one gas-permeable and microbiologically sealed packaging.
- the outer surfaces of heat-sensitive containers are also sterilized using a low-pressure plasma in an evacuable reactor.
- the reactor contains a vacuum pump for evacuating the reactor, a feed line for the gas to be ionized and the electrodes generating the plasma.
- a terminal stage of sterilization is preferably provided, containers being sealed and packaged with so-called outer packaging being sterilized.
- the containers repackaged in this way are successfully sterilized and can be shipped.
- containers for packaging solid and liquid diagnostic and medicinal products for the highest demands in the pharmaceutical industry are preferably sterilized.
- Such containers are ampoules, vials, cartridges, syringe barrels and other glass and / or plastic parts that contain rubber and / or metal.
- syringes with syringe cylinders with needles and needle protection caps with outer packaging are also provided.
- Syringes without a needle and without a protective cap, with a needle and without a protective cap or with a needle and with a protective cap or without a needle and with a protective cap are preferred as containers.
- Syringe cylinders, needles and finger rests are particularly preferred as syringes.
- Containers which additionally have a piston stopper, finger rest and back stop are very particularly preferred.
- the advantages of the process used to sterilize the containers are the short process time. There are no residual substances in the container in the ppm range. The process is dry and odorless. No toxic chemicals are used in the process and there is no disposal problem. There is no thermal stress and no embrittlement on the container.
- the method according to the invention is equally suitable for containers which contain glass, plastic, rubber or metal and leads to very good results.
- One or more containers according to the invention can be in one
- Packaging sealed and additionally sterilized in a sealed packaging In the sealed and sealed packaging, very good results are achieved during sterilization.
- the containers with single or multi-layer packaging preferably made of
- Polyethylene HDPE can be sealed in one embodiment of the invention become.
- Tyvek® is preferably used. Tyvek® is manufactured by Dupont and is made from 100% polyethylene HDPE.
- the sealed packaging has on one side a transparent plastic film and on the other side contains polyethylene HDPE, preferably Tyvek®.
- the plastic film contains polyethylene, polypropylene or cycloolefin polymer, such as ethylene-norbornene copolymer.
- Figure 1 shows vials A and B using the described
- Figure 2 shows a cartridge C and an ampoule D, which are sterilized by the method described.
- Figure 3 shows a syringe barrel E and a syringe barrel with
- FIG. 4 shows a filled and to be sealed plastic tray G.
- A shows a vial which has the body (1), shoulder (2), neck (3), collar (4) and a bottom (5).
- B shows a screw vial that has a thread (6) for a screw cap.
- C shows a carpule, but the body (1), shoulder (2), neck (3), collar (4) has no bottom.
- D shows an ampoule which has body (1), shoulder (2), neck (3) and bottom (5).
- E shows a cylinder body with a syringe, which has body (1), finger rest (7) and a cone (8).
- F shows a syringe barrel with piston rod (9).
- the syringe can be fitted with a needle and cap. It is also possible to pre-fill the sterilized syringe with a drug and store it as a pre-filled syringe.
- FIG. 4 shows a plastic tub G which is filled with syringes E and is gas-permeable and microbiologically tight.
- a Nest H is first inserted into the plastic tub.
- Syringes E are inserted into the nest H and fixed.
- the plastic tub G is sealed with a gas-permeable and microbiologically tight lid K.
- the sealed plastic tub is therefore a gas-permeable and microbiologically sealed packaging container.
- the sealed plastic tub is additionally packed with at least one gas-permeable and microbiologically sealed outer packaging (not shown in FIG. 4).
- the table below shows an overview of the results achieved in the sterilization tests.
- the germ reductions are given in orders of magnitude or log levels.
- a sign> before the numerical value means that the sterilization result actually achieved is greater than the specified value. In these cases the germ reduction was so large or the probability of survival of the germs so low that no germs survived the sterilization process with the given pre-contamination.
