Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for transferring a substance between closed systems, wherein the closed systems, namely at least one donor system and at least one target system, are at least simply sterile connected prior to transfer, whereby the substance passes into the target system, wherein after the transfer Substance, the target system and the donor system are sterile separated from each other and the pressure differences occurring during the transfer of the substance are compensated.

  • a concrete use case for matter or a substance to be introduced into the closed system refers to stem cells obtained by apheresis treatment of patient blood. Before a patient suffering from cancer undergoes chemotherapy, stem cells are taken from him. Only then does the patient receive chemotherapy. Since stem cells are broken down in this chemotherapy, the patient is later given the stem cells removed.
  • the apheresis treatment proceeds in such a way that blood is taken from the patient and transferred to a closed system.
