Abstract
The system of the invention involves a gloveless aseptic processing system. The automated system is for filling nested pharmaceutical containers with a pharmaceutical fluid substance. A closed sterilizable gloveless isolator chamber is capable of maintaining an aseptic condition, having a sterilization system. The container filling system has a dispensing head for filling the containers, and a container closing system disposed within the gloveless isolator chamber with rams for pushing closures into openings of the nested containers. The container manipulation mechanism is disposed within the gloveless isolator chamber and is capable of positioning the nested pharmaceutical containers within the gloveless isolator chamber including operably disposing the nested pharmaceutical containers with the container filling system and the container closing system. Container tubs sealed by removable covers and contain a container nest bearing a plurality of pre-sterilized pharmaceutical containers.
