Integration with isolator
INTEGRATION WITH ISOLATOR THROUGH MAGNETODOOR® MAGNETIC DRIVEN DOOR
De Lama is the only manufacturer in the world to present the door slinding mechanism with magnet: De Lama DL/MD Equipment. Such design is the perfect solution for a direct integration with an isolator where cleanability, reduced footprint and sanitization with H2O2 are a paramount.
The main advantages are:
- door sliding instead of hinged design minimizes the isolator space devoted to the integration with the equipment (no clearance for the door swinging)
- the magnetic sliding minimizes the number of components and materials positioned on the isolator side reducing the risk of dirt retention
- the limited number of components and the clean design of the door allow the full sanitization and compatibility with H2O2 during the isolator inner treatment
MAGNETODOOR®: INNOVATIVE CONFIGURATIONS FOR THE CONNECTION BETWEEN ISOLATOR AND AUTOCLAVE (OR COMBINED AUTOCLAVE-WASHER)
CONFIGURATION 1
CONNECTION OF DE LAMA EQUIPMENT (AUTOCLAVE AND/OR WASHER) WITH THE ENTRANCE OF ISOLATOR
This configuration provides a double Magnetodoor® that allows you to load the items into the sterilizer and unload the sterilized items directly into the isolator, thanks to the presence of a tight connection between the two devices.
The peculiarity of this configuration is its flexibility, as it can be easily adapted to specific process requirements.
Indeed, the sterilizer can be one of the following options: steam sterilizer, air, steam sterilizer, dry heat sterilizer, HyPerPure® technology for low temperature sterilization under high vacuum or equipment that combines washer and steam sterilizer, washer and HyPerPure® sterilizer .
Depending on the choice of the sterilizer, this configuration can be applied, for example, to the following operations, which are required for the aseptic processing of various items:
washing and steam sterilization of the heat-resistant parts of the aseptic line, to be used in the isolator, where the filling process, depyrogenation of the containers is carried out, which must be used inside the isolator
HyPerPure® sterilization of the thermosensitive parts of the aseptic line, which must be used for the filling process in the isolator. In particular, it should be noted that the direct connection of a Hydrogen Peroxide sterilizer with the isolator allows a sterilization process to be applied to all items that cannot be reliably decontaminated and sterilized inside the isolator, due to the uncertain penetration of Hydrogen Peroxide when used at atmospheric pressure.
Depending on the process flow, the HyPerPure® sterilizer can also be integrated (within the same unit) with a pass-box, to decontaminate any heat-sensitive items prior to their introduction into the classified area.
The clear advantages of this configuration are the reduction of the risk of contamination and the improvement of the process flow. In fact, the direct connection of the sterilizer (of any type) to the isolator reduces the risk of contamination of all accessory elements (after sterilization, which must be loaded inside the isolator. At the same time, this solution would reduce delivery times for the preparation and transport of auxiliary items from the point of sterilization inside the isolator.
The additional advantage is linked to the use of magnetic doors. Compared to traditional doors, the following features are highlighted: space reduction, compatibility with hydrogen peroxide, reduction of mechanical spare parts, better cleaning due to the absence of hidden points that are difficult to reach.
