Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide connection systems for forming sterile fluid connections outside of a sterile environment, which is used with large diameter tubing for the large scale flow of sterile fluids. SOLUTION: The system for forming fluid connection includes a first connector (12) and a second connector (14). Both connectors have a membrane (19, 19') mounted on a distal end (27) thereof. A support member (16) or other fasteners (214, 220) facilitates the coupling of the connectors together so that the membranes are abutted together. Radiant or other form of energy is applied to the abutted membranes so as to sterilize the membranes and melt the membranes so that a flow path is formed therethrough. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
