Abstract [sv]

Medicin och vaccin förvaras i injektionsflaskor. Flaskorna förseglas med gummiproppar somsitter kvar även när sjuksköterskan för nålen genom dem för att nå innehållet. Innan medicinkan lagras i injektionsflaskor måste gummipropparna steriliseras för att säkerställa att ingenkontaminering kan ske och att medicineringen för patienten är ren. Gummipropparna somanvänds inom läkemedelsindustrin behöver därmed genomgå en steriliseringsprocess. Iprocessen stoppas propparna in i Tyvek-Beta Bags och placeras på perforerade plåtar på envagn. Vagnen placeras i en autoklav som utsätter påsarna för ånga med temperaturer mellan121 och 134°C samt vakuum. Under steriliseringsprocessen utsätts påsen för spänningar ochblåses upp som en ballong vilket resulterar i påfrestning vid huvudet/öppningen.I projektet Beta Bag Retainer har en två studenter från Högskolan i Halmstad samarbetat medGetinge Sterilization AB utvecklat en låsanordning som låser fast Beta Bagen på plåten samt germöjlighet att optimera lasten och därmed öka kapaciteten under steriliseringsprocesserna.Projektet har genomförts genom användning av Set-based design och agil produktutveckling.Låsanordningen är användarvänlig, lätt att montera och anpassad efter Getinge Sterilizationsexisterande produkter samt en kravspecifikation.

Abstract [en]

Medicine and vaccines are stored inside injection vials. The bottles are sealed with rubber stoppersthat remain in place even when the nurse moves the needle through them to reach the contents.Before medicine can be stored in vials, the rubber stoppers must be sterilized to ensure that nocontamination can occur and that the medication for the patient is safe.The rubber stoppers used in the pharmaceutical industry need to go through a sterilization process.In this process, the stoppers are put into Tyvek bags called BetaBags and placed on perforatedshelves on a trolley. The trolley is placed inside an autoclave that exposes the bags to steam attemperatures between 121 and 134°C as well as vacuum. During the sterilization process, the bagis subjected to tension when inflated like a balloon which also is putting pressure on thehead/opening of the bag.In the Beta Bag Retainer project, the project group has developed a locking device that keeps thebag in place which gives the opportunity to optimize the load and thereby increase capacity duringthe sterilization process. The lock is user-friendly and mainly works with Getinge Sterilizationsexisting products. The project group has worked with Set-based Design and agile production todevelop a solution that achieves all the requirements and demands from the company. The solutionis a user friendly locking device, which is easy to keep clean and to assemble onto perforatedshelves.
