While providing significant safety and contamination control benefits, placing a physical barrier between the process and the user introduces operational challenges:
- How to move material into and out of an isolator without breaking the sterile containment?
- How to provide easy, comfortable manipulation while maintaining good operational efficiency?
Getinge solves this by its unique DPTE® system. It is based on the interaction of two separate units - Alpha and Beta - each fitted with a port, a lock and a sealing function. The Alpha unit is mounted on the wall of the isolator, while the Beta unit seals off the container or transfer isolator.
