Abstract

A production method for producing a transport and transfer receptacle for at least one fluid medium, for example, for at least one sterile liquid is proposed. The method comprises supplying at least one container for receiving the fluid medium. At least one energy unit is supplied. The energy unit effects—for example, complete—emptying of the fluid medium from the container when the transport and transfer receptacle is used. The fluid medium is introduced into the container and the container is closed. The fluid medium is charged with positive pressure, for example, using the energy unit. The positive pressure is maintained until the fluid medium is removed. Furthermore, a transport and transfer receptacle which can be produced according to the production method and which has at least one packaging is proposed.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
We claim: 
     
         1 . A production method for producing a transport and transfer receptacle for at least one fluid medium, wherein the method comprising:
 supplying at least one container for receiving the fluid medium;   supplying at least one energy unit, wherein the energy unit effects the emptying of the fluid medium from the container when the transport and transfer receptacle is used;   introducing the fluid medium into the container and closing the container;   charging the fluid medium with positive pressure using the energy unit, wherein the positive pressure is maintained until the fluid medium is removed; and   packing at least the container in the state charged with positive pressure in at least one packaging.   
     
     
         2 . The production method according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one gas bubble is produced in the container during the introduction of the fluid medium and wherein the charging of the fluid medium is carried out in such a manner that the gas bubble completely disappears after a waiting period resulting in a transport and transfer receptacle which is free from gas bubbles. 
     
     
         3 . The production method according to  claim 2 , wherein the waiting period is at least one hour. 
     
     
         4 . The production method according to  claim 2 , wherein the waiting period is at least two hours. 
     
     
         5 . The production method according to  claim 1 , wherein during the charging of the fluid medium, at least one spring element of the transport and transfer receptacle is tensioned, wherein the spring element acts on at least one displaceable section of the container. 
     
     
         6 . The production method according to  claim 5 , wherein the spring element acts on at least one stopper. 
     
     
         7 . The production method according to  claim 6 , wherein the stopper is a perforable stopper. 
     
     
         8 . The production method according to  claim 1 , wherein, directly after the charging of the fluid medium has been carried out, the container does not have a fluid connection between an interior of the container, the interior receiving the fluid medium, and a surroundings of the container, wherein the container has at least one perforable section through which the fluid medium can be removed after the perforable section is perforated. 
     
     
         9 . The production method according to  claim 1 , wherein the container is at least partially accommodated in at least one external container. 
     
     
         10 . The production method according to  claim 9 , wherein the container is at least partially accommodated in the at least one external container after the introduction of the fluid medium has been carried out. 
     
     
         11 . The production method according to  claim 9 , wherein the charging of the fluid medium at least partially takes place during one or both of connection of the external container to the container or during closing of the external container. 
     
     
         12 . The production method according to  claim 11 , wherein the energy unit is mechanically tensioned. 
     
     
         13 . The production method according to  claim 1 , wherein the energy unit comprises at least one spring element, wherein, after method the charging of the fluid medium has been carried out, the spring element presses at least part of the container against at least one abutment of the transport and transfer receptacle. 
     
     
         14 . The production method according to  claim 13 , wherein the abutment comprises at least one perforation opening, wherein the at least one perforating element can penetrate through the perforation opening to at least one perforable section of the container. 
     
     
         15 . The production method according to  claim 1 , wherein the fluid medium is a sterile liquid. 
     
     
         16 . The production method according to  claim 1 , wherein the energy unit effects the complete emptying of the fluid medium from the container. 
     
     
         17 . The production method according to  claim 1 , wherein the container is closed with a displaceable stopper. 
     
     
         18 . A supply method for supplying at least one fluid medium, the supply method comprising:
 producing a transport and transfer receptacle using the production method according to  claim 1 ; and   perforating at least one perforable section in order to produce a fluid connection between an interior of the container and an exterior for the purpose of removing the fluid medium from the container.   
     
     
         19 . The supply method according to  claim 18 , further comprising,
 at least one interruption, wherein, during interruption, the perforating of the perforable section is stopped and the fluid connection is interrupted.
