Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for sterilizing and depyrogenizing washed containers.
  • Sterilizing is the release of an object from reproductive organisms. This requirement is met by killing all microorganisms. This includes not only the vegetative cells, but also the permanent forms and in particular the particularly resistant bacterial endospores.
  • Containers to be sterilized which are used, for example, in the pharmaceutical industry or for filling beverages and which usually consist of glass or plastic, must be cleaned by a wash cycle before sterilization. These containers pass through a washing machine before they reach the sterilization system, with small amounts of residual water.
  • lipopolysaccharides Bacterial endotoxins, so-called lipopolysaccharides, are always present in the water that is applied to the surfaces of the containers during washing. These are cell membrane components of so-called gram-negative bacteria and are released when they die and break down into their cell components. If the lipopolysaccharides enter the bloodstream, they produce a fever. The lipopolysaccharides must therefore be inactivated, a process commonly referred to as depyrogenization.
  • depyrogenation usually takes place by treatment in dry heat at about 300 ° C. Since this temperature and the residence time are also suitable for sterilization, sterilization and depyrogenization are usually combined in one carried out joint operation.
  • this rational method has the disadvantage that the optimal methods are not necessarily used for the two process steps. This is particularly true when it would be desirable per se to sterilize containers made of plastic, for example, at lower temperatures.
  • the invention is based on the object of making the sterilization and depyrogenization of washed containers more variable.
  • the object is achieved in that depyrogenization is carried out in a separate operation after sterilization.
  • the depyrogenation is carried out by the action of plasma, because suitable plasma gases are able to inactivate the lipopolysaccharides by electron and ion bombardment and by chemical reaction.
  • a high-frequency generator is switched on, the high-frequency power of which can be coupled inductively or capacitively and which works, for example, with an approved frequency of 13.56 MHz.
  • a low-pressure plasma is advantageously used for the depyrogenation. This has the advantage that a “cold” plasma can be generated, as a result of which the containers to be depyrogenized are not or only slightly thermally stressed.
  • a gas which is suitable for depyrogenization in the plasma phase is to be used as the plasma gas. This is the case, for example, with oxygen, which is enriched with ozone in the maximum possible concentration.
  • the gas mixture must be passed through a sterile filter before depyrogenation, since it is not a sterile gas and the containers to be depyrogenized have already been sterilized by the previous sterilization process and, of course, must not be recontaminated.
  • a gas mixture can be used which enhances the effect of the ozone-oxygen plasma with another component.
  • provision can advantageously be made for the sterilization and depyrogenization to be carried out at intervals in a common treatment chamber. However, this is not a mandatory requirement.
  • the sterilization can, depending on the application, be carried out optimally, for example by condensing a steam mixture containing water vapor and hydrogen peroxide vapor onto the surfaces of the containers.
  • hydrogen peroxide which is always present in aqueous solution
  • the actual germ killing takes place purely chemically, through the action of "activated” hydrogen peroxide.
  • activate used here is undefined, but chemical and / or physical change that ultimately kills germs. Such "activation" of the hydrogen peroxide takes place during condensation, that is to say precisely when it is actually needed for sterilization.
  • the steam mixture is generated in an evaporator and then passed into a treatment chamber, the chamber pressure of which is significantly below the steam pressure of the steam mixture. Due to the negative pressure in the treatment chamber, the steam mixture to be condensed reaches all surfaces to be sterilized without any carrier gas medium and wets them with a thin, homogeneous liquid film. A microscopic condensate layer that is almost invisible to the naked eye is sufficient for this.
  • the vapor mixture condensed onto the surfaces of the containers to be sterilized can be easily removed from the treatment chamber by evacuating to a pressure below the boiling points of water and hydrogen peroxide. Neither subsequent cleaning nor subsequent heating is necessary to evaporate the condensate.
  • Residual amounts of water which, as mentioned at the beginning, can adhere to the containers due to the washing process, may hinder effective sterilization because the condensate does not reach the surfaces to be sterilized or the germs contained in the liquid quickly or under certain circumstances can. It is therefore provided in a further embodiment of the invention that the washed containers are freed of any residual moisture before sterilization. As a result, the surfaces to be sterilized the container is placed in a state which enables effective sterilization by condensing the steam mixture consisting of water and hydrogen peroxide.
  • the residual moisture is removed by drying by means of microwave radiation.
  • the chamber in which the microwave radiation occurs is evacuated.
  • the water to be evaporated can already reach its boiling point at a temperature of 60 ° C, for example. It is possible to remove the residual moisture in the same treatment chamber in which the sterilization takes place. This makes the apparatus simpler, for example in that one and the same vacuum pump can be used for the different process steps.
  • the process steps which are considered the most advantageous by the applicant in combination are freeing the containers of residual moisture by microwave radiation, sterilizing by condensing a steam mixture containing water vapor and hydrogen peroxide vapor onto the surfaces of the containers and depyrogenizing using a low pressure plasma.
  • FIG. 1 shows a block diagram for explaining the method steps according to the invention
  • Figure 2 is a schematic representation of a preferred embodiment of the invention.
  • the containers 1 pass through a washing machine 2, a drying chamber 3, a sterilization chamber 4, a depyrogenization chamber 5 and subsequently a filling station 6 and a sealing station 7.
  • the sterilization takes place in the sterilization chamber 4 and the depyrogenization in the depyrogenization chamber 5
  • drying is supported by microwave radiation 8, sterilization by reaction gas supply 9 and depyrogenation by plasma gas supply 10.
  • a steam mixture of water vapor and hydrogen peroxide vapor can be used as the reaction gas for the sterilization.
  • the drying chamber 3, the sterilization chamber 4 and the depyrogenization chamber 5 are connected to a vacuum pump (not shown) via a common vacuum connection 11.
  • the drying chamber 3, the sterilization chamber 4 and the depyrogenization chamber 5 can alternatively be combined to form a common treatment chamber 12, but the process steps of drying, sterilizing and depyrogenizing are carried out at intervals in time.
  • Such a common treatment chamber 12 which is grounded, is shown schematically in FIG.
  • the direction of transport through the treatment chamber 12 runs from the viewer to the plane of the drawing, the treatment chamber 12 being provided with inlet and outlet openings (not shown) and corresponding locks.
  • the individual containers 1 are placed in the treatment chamber 12 on a grating 13.
  • the treatment chamber 12 is connected to a vacuum pump 15 via a vacuum line 14 and a valve 16. This can be designed for a vacuum below a Pa.
  • the containers 1 are freed of any residual moisture by a drying process.
  • the power of the microwave is radiated in the present case, as an example, via a waveguide 18.
  • the waveguide 18, which is rectangular in cross section, is widened to form an antenna 19 which is closed off from the treatment chamber 12 by a microwave-transparent window 20 made of quartz glass, for example.
  • the window 20 must be mechanically very stable, since there is negative pressure in the treatment chamber 12, but there is atmospheric pressure in the antenna 19 and the waveguide 18.
  • an impedance converter 21 is provided, for example a three-screw transformer.
  • a so-called isolator 22 is attached between the impedance converter 21 and the microwave generator 17 and branches off the reflected wave, for example, into a water load, ie into a water-cooled resistor that has the same wave resistance as the waveguide 18.
  • the next process step takes place with the subsequent sterilization of the containers 1.
  • a steam mixture of water vapor and hydrogen peroxide vapor is first generated, it being basically irrelevant whether the steam in question is wet steam or superheated steam.
  • the evaporator or carburetor the design of which is basically arbitrary, is provided with the reference number 26.
  • An aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide with the desired concentration is fed to the evaporator 26 via a feed line 27 and a valve 28 in the direction of the arrow.
  • the evaporator 26 is arranged upstream of the treatment chamber 12, in which the containers 1 to be sterilized and which have meanwhile dried are located.
  • the treatment chamber 12 is also evacuated in the desired manner for sterilization.
  • the treatment chamber 12 is then isolated from the vacuum pump 15 by closing a valve 16, so that suction is no longer carried out.
  • Depyrogenization then takes place in a further step. This is done with the aid of a low-pressure plasma with the treatment chamber 12 likewise being evacuated.
  • a feed line 33 plasma gas to be ionized can be introduced into the evacuated treatment chamber 12, preferably oxygen enriched with ozone.
  • a throttle valve 34 regulates the inflow of the plasma gas.
  • a gas container 35 is provided for the plasma gas itself. So that the already sterilized containers 1 are not recontaminated, the feed line 33 is connected to the treatment chamber 12 via a sterile filter 36.
  • a high-frequency generator 37 of, for example, 13.56 MHz or another approved frequency is used to ignite the low-pressure plasma required for the depyrogenation.
  • the high-frequency generator 37 generates an alternating voltage, which is transmitted to the plasma to be formed by an adaptation network 38, a so-called matchbox.
  • the matching network 38 serves the purpose of matching the impedance of the load to the characteristic impedance of the high-frequency generator 37.
  • Two identical electrodes 39 and 40 are located within the treatment chamber 12.
  • Electrodes 39 and 40 in the form of plates are electrically insulated from the plasma, which can be done, for example, by means of a coating that withstands the action of the plasma. This insulation ensures that the average over time Electrodes 39 and 40 cannot flow a direct current that would result in an ohmic loss in the electrode edge layer.
  • neither of the two electrodes 39 and 40 should be at the same electrical potential as the metallic treatment chamber 12. Rather, a symmetrical structure should be chosen in which the two electrodes 39 and 40 are electrically isolated from the ground potential via a transformer contained in the matching network 38. Both electrodes 39 and 40 are then equal to the potential of the metallic wall of the treatment chamber 12, which is expressed in a largely symmetrical plasma geometry.
