Sterile Connecting Device(TSCD-II)
Terumo Sterile Connecting Device(TSCD-II) accomplishes quick and safe tubing connections that maintain a functionally closed system. It provides a new level of speed and assurance of quality, regardless of whether wet or dry tubing is to be connected.
Highlights
- Sterile welding of PVC tubes based on Terumo’s proprietary wafer technology
- Suitable for all types of connections, such as dry-dry, wet-dry or wet-wet connections.
- Sterile welding of bags with shorter tube length.
- Robust clamp mechanism ensures efficiency and ease of use.
- Avoidance of cross-contact or contamination because each wafer is discarded after single use
- Data processing system
- Mobility: its lightweight, compact size and pop-up handle makes it easy-to-carry
- Application in component pooling, leukoreduction, aphaeresis and collection set modification, quality control sampling, stem cell processing, cell washing, cell freezing, and component aliquoting.
How it Works
- The TSCD-II wafer is heated to approximately 300oC (5720F), a temperature high enough to maintain sterility during cutting and welding without allowing particulates or chemical residues to form in the tubes.
- The wafer moves up and melts through the pieces of tubing to be connected.
- The left clamp moves horizontally until the tubes to be connected are aligned.
- When the wafer is retracted, the right clamp pushes the tubing together.
- The used wafers are ejected into a built-in disposal box, and wafers are automatically replaced after each use.
