METHOD FOR SAFEGUARDING STERILE SPACES AGAINST EITHER THE ESCAPE OF TOXIC STERILIZATION AGENTS OR THE PENETRATION OF MICROORGANISMS, ESPECIALLY WHEN FILLING MACHINES ARE USED, AND DEVICE FOR CARRYING OUT THE METHOD

摘要

A chamber, in which an atmosphere comprising a toxic vapor is established, is pneumatically isolated from the ambient environment. The isolation technique permits objects to be sterilized to be conveyed into and removed from the chamber without leakage of vapor from the chamber or of air into the chamber.
