<strong>Sartorius</strong> Stedim Biotech single-use<br />
bags and systems are widely used<br />
in biopharmaceutical processes for<br />
a variety of unit operations of the<br />
commercial production of drug<br />
products such as vaccines, recombinant<br />
proteins and monoclonal<br />
antibodies and for the development<br />
of future biomolecules in clinical<br />
phases.<br />
Buffers and media are increasingly<br />
formulated, sterile filtered<br />
and stored in single-use Fluid<br />
Management Systems (FMS) that<br />
involve Flexel® and Flexboy® Bags<br />
integrated with filters, impeller<br />
mixers, tubing, connectors and<br />
monitoring tools. Product intermediates<br />
are also filtered and stored<br />
between UF|DF and chromatography<br />
purification steps in Gamma<br />
sterile Fluid Management Systems.<br />
Fluid Management Systems are<br />
also adopted for the formulation,<br />
filtration and aseptic processing of<br />
final drug products.<br />
From buffer and media preparation,<br />
cell culture operations, purification<br />
operations up to final formulation,<br />
filtration and transfer, the sterile<br />
connection is a key element during<br />
manufacturing processes.<br />
The <strong>BioWelder®</strong> <strong>Total</strong> <strong>Containment</strong><br />
is an innovating device for<br />
connecting large and liquid<br />
filled thermoplastic tubing in<br />
bio pharmaceutical applications.<br />
The fully automated device allows<br />
fast and reliable connection in<br />
sterile welding operations between<br />
two separate pre-sterilized process<br />
components.<br />
The <strong>BioWelder®</strong> TC is used to<br />
connect thermoplastic tubing such<br />
as C-Flex®, PharmaPure®,<br />
AdvantaFlex®, SaniPure BDF and<br />
PharMed® BPT, used on disposable<br />
bags or bag assemblies within<br />
all biopharmaceutical manufacturing<br />
processes. <strong>BioWelder®</strong> TC<br />
can weld either dry or liquidfilled<br />
tubing in non classified<br />
and classified environment while<br />
maintaining product sterility.<br />
We have compiled this validation<br />
guide so that users of the<br />
<strong>BioWelder®</strong> TC can plan, implement<br />
and document their own<br />
validation procedures.
2. Product Description<br />
2.1 Description<br />
The <strong>BioWelder®</strong> TC is a fully<br />
automated device for connecting<br />
thermoplastic tubing in a sterile<br />
welding operation.<br />
The fully automated device allows<br />
sterile connection of liquid<br />
filled tubing up to 1 inch outer<br />
diameter.<br />
The device is programmed with<br />
standard parameter sets for<br />
welding C-Flex®, PharmaPure®,<br />
AdvantaFlex®, PharMed® BPT and<br />
SaniPure BDF. These parameter<br />
sets have been validated<br />
at ambiant temperature.<br />
2.2 Operating Principles<br />
The holders, the blade and the tubes<br />
are inserted into the <strong>BioWelder®</strong><br />
TC. The welding process is fully<br />
automated and is started via the<br />
touch screen LCD. The blade is<br />
first heated up for depyrogenation<br />
and cooled down to the welding<br />
temperature. An infrared sensor<br />
monitors and controls the blade<br />
temperature during all the welding<br />
process. When the blade reaches the<br />
welding temperature, the blade cuts<br />
the tubes and the new fluid path is<br />
welded together.<br />

The validation of the <strong>BioWelder®</strong><br />
TC was performed according to<br />
<strong>Sartorius</strong> Stedim Biotech standard<br />
methods. The validation tests were<br />
performed at ambiant temperature<br />
on the C-Flex® 374 tubing after<br />
sterilization.<br />

Bacterial challenge test is done<br />
to demonstrate the ability of the<br />
<strong>BioWelder®</strong> TC to maintain the<br />
product sterility inside the tube<br />
during welding connection.<br />
Particle, Extractable and endotoxin<br />
tests are carried out to check<br />
that the thermal weld meets the<br />
specifications given in the section<br />
“Sterile Water for Injection” of the<br />
current USP.<br />
Flow rate measurement test is<br />
performed to check that the<br />
thermal weld does not reduce the<br />
flow rate during fluid transfer.<br />
3.2 Pressure Test<br />
Purpose<br />
The purpose of the pressure test<br />
is to check the robustness of the<br />
welding connection. The pressure<br />
test is performed on the C-Flex®<br />
374 tubing sterilized under the<br />
following conditions:<br />
Test 1: the two tubes are sterilized<br />
by Gamma irradiation at 50 kGy<br />
Test 2: the two tubes are sterilized<br />
by Autoclave<br />
(1 cycle 121 °C – 20 minutes)<br />
Test 3: one tube is sterilized by<br />
Gamma irradiation at 50 kGy and<br />
one tube is sterilized by autoclave<br />
(1 cycle 121 °C – 20 minutes)<br />
Test Method<br />
For the tests 1, 2 and 3, the tubes<br />
are first sterilized and filled with<br />
water. The liquid filled tubings<br />
are welded together using the<br />
<strong>BioWelder®</strong> TC. After a visual check<br />
of the thermal weld, the tubes are<br />
immersed into water and tested<br />
under air pressure at 1 bar for<br />
30 seconds.<br />
The test is passed if no air bubble<br />
appears.<br />

3.3 Tensile Strength Test<br />
Purpose<br />
The purpose of the tensile strength<br />
test is to check the connection<br />
strength after welding connection.<br />
The tensile strength test is<br />
performed on C-Flex® 374 tubing<br />
sterilized by Gamma irradiation<br />
at 50 kGy.<br />
Test Method<br />
The tubing are first sterilized by<br />
Gamma irradiation at 50 kGy and<br />
filled with water. The liquid filled<br />
tubing are welded together using<br />
the <strong>BioWelder®</strong> TC . After visual<br />
inspection, the tensile strength<br />
needed to disconnect the welded<br />
tube is measured.<br />

3.4 Bacterial Challenge Test<br />
8 |<br />
Purpose<br />
The purpose of the Bacterial<br />
Challenge test is to demonstrate<br />
the ability of the <strong>BioWelder®</strong> TC<br />
to maintain the product sterility<br />
inside the tube during welding<br />
connection.<br />
Test Method<br />
Test samples are composed by<br />
C-Flex® 374 tubing plugged at both<br />
ends. C-Flex® 374 tubing is first<br />
sterilized by Gamma irradiating at<br />
50 kGy. Then, the tube is plugged<br />
on one end and autoclaved to<br />
ensure it remains sterile. Afterwards,<br />
The tube is filled aseptically under<br />
laminar flow with CASO Broth and<br />
plugged on the other end.<br />
The blade and the tube wall are<br />
contaminated with Geobacillus<br />
stearothermphilus at 10 6 CFU<br />
per mL.<br />
The welding connection is<br />
performed on test samples before<br />
final incubation at 55 °C for<br />
14 days.<br />
Negative and positive control are<br />
also tested in parallel to confirm the<br />
bacterial challenge test. Negative<br />
control is conducted to check the<br />
aseptic filling conditions. Positive<br />
control is conducted to prove the<br />
fertility of the system.<br />
The Bacterial challenge test passes<br />
only if no microbial growth is<br />
observed on both the test samples<br />
and the negative control and if a<br />
microbial growth is observed on the<br />
positive control.<br />

3.6 Flow Rate Measurement<br />
Purpose<br />
Flow rate measurement test is<br />
performed to check that the<br />
thermal weld does not reduce the<br />
flow rate during fluid transfer.<br />
Test Method<br />
C-Flex® 374 tubing is sterilized by<br />
Gamma irradiation at 50 kGy.<br />
One test sample is prepared without<br />
any welding connection and<br />
another test sample is prepared<br />
with ten welding connections.<br />
Each test sample is connected to a<br />
loop where some water is<br />
re-circulated into a tank by using a<br />
pump. For each test sample the flow<br />
rate and the pressure are measured.<br />
