(e)定義連接是設(shè)計用于一次性連接還是多個連接
(1)設(shè)計用于一次性連接的連接器應(yīng)具有不可逆的鎖定機制，除非其專門設(shè)計用于無菌斷開。
(2)設(shè)計用于多重連接和斷開的連接器應(yīng)具有規(guī)定的最大連接數(shù)。
(f)提供裝配說明，以確保正確連接
2.2 所有者/用戶責(zé)任
所有者/用戶應(yīng)

(b)確保由經(jīng)過適當(dāng)培訓(xùn)的操作員按照合格程序進行連接，以保持系統(tǒng)完整性
柔性生物處理容器，也稱為一次性袋，可在2D或3D格式中以不同的配置和體積容量獲得。這些一次性袋用于生物工藝流體或粉末的制備、儲存、取樣、轉(zhuǎn)移和運輸組件中。一次性袋具有連接端口，并與管路或管路支路結(jié)合使用，以實現(xiàn)灌裝、分配、取樣和其他工藝功能。本節(jié)提供了對一次性袋結(jié)構(gòu)材料和鑒定的要求。
3.1材料
多層膜通常用于制造一次性袋。制造商應(yīng)確定袋的所有薄膜和連接層的構(gòu)造材料。對于預(yù)期用于過程接觸的袋，制造商應(yīng)識別所有材料（例如，主要材料、粘結(jié)層和添加劑），這些材料可能會摻雜袋內(nèi)產(chǎn)品。
3.2確認

CHAPTER 8 PROCESS COMPONENTS FOR SINGLE-USE
PART SC COMPONENTS FOR SINGLE-USE
SC-1 STEAM-THROUGH AND STEAM-TO CONNECTORS
Steam-through and steam-to connectors are designed to connect single-use systems to multiuse (metallic) systems. Steam-through and steam-to connections shall:
(a) form a hygienic clamp union, meeting the requirements of Parts DT and MC
(b) maintain a seal (see MC-4)
(c) be drainable (see Part SD)
(d) be sterilizable (see SU-9)
(e) be compatible with SIP, poststerilization (e.g., gamma irradiation) at 266°F (130°C) for 1 hr (exposed surfaces)
(f) meet the biocompatibility requirements of PM-3.1
(g) meet the Certificate of Conformance requirements of Table PM-2.2.1-1.
SC-2 ASEPTIC CONNECTORS
Aseptic connectors allow single-use assemblies to be joined while maintaining a sterile process contact surface before, during, and after connection, without regard to the manufacturing environment.
SC-2.1 Manufacturer Responsibilities
The manufacturer shall
(a) conduct microbial ingress testing to qualify that a sterile fluid path postconnection is not compromised
(b) define whether the connectors are dry connectors or wet connectors
(1) Dry means liquid cannot be in the connector. Pinch clamps or another suitable technique must be used to isolate the liquid from the connector prior to use.
(2) Wet means the connection can be made with liquid in the connector.
(c) provide product specifications including, but not limited to, the following:
(1) temperature ratings
(2) pressure ratings
(3) sterilization method compatibility (e.g., gamma, autoclave)
(4) product flow path cleanliness (particulates, endotoxins, bioburden)
(5) flow rates
(d) define the gender of the connector halves
(1) unique male and female halves
(2) genderless, where each half is identical
(e) define whether the connection is designed for onetime connection or multiple connections
(1) Connectors designed for a one-time connection shall incorporate an irreversible locking mechanism, unless it is specifically designed for aseptic disconnect.
(2) Connectors designed for multiple connections and disconnections shall have the maximum number of connections specified.
(f) provide assembly instructions to ensure proper connection
SC-2.2 Owner/User Responsibilities
The owner/user should
(a) review the manufacturer’s specifications against the service requirements for all applicable process and sterilization conditions
(b) ensure the connection will be performed to a qualified procedure by a properly trained operator to maintain system integrity
SC-3 FLEXIBLE BIOPROCESSCONTAINERS (BAGS)
Flexible bioprocessing containers, also referred to as single-use bags, are available in 2D or 3D format, in different configurations and volume capacities. These bags are used in assemblies for preparation, storage, sampling, transfer, and transport of bioprocess fluids or powders. The bags have connection ports and are used in conjunction with tubing or tubing manifolds to allow for filling, dispensing, sampling, and other process functions. This section provides requirements on materials of construction and qualification.
SC-3.1 Materials
Multilayer films are often used to manufacture single-use bags. The manufacturer should identify the material of construction of all film and tie layers of the bag. For bags intended for process contact, the manufacturer shall identify all materials (e.g., primary materials, tie layers, and additives) that have the potential to adulterate the bag contents.
SC-3.2 Qualifications
The manufacturer shall provide the operating temperature and pressure limits of the single-use bag. The manufacturer shall specify appropriate sterilization methods, including range of exposure, poststerilization shelf life, and other limitations. The manufacturer should provide handling and safe use procedures, including hanging restrictions, filling limitations, and secondary containment recommendations.
