PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently decontaminate a decontamination space by making it a small-volume and annular decontamination space surrounding the lid body.SOLUTION: The sterilized connection device 4 includes: a sealing means 9 which forms the decontamination space S1 between an isolator 2 having a first lid body 11 and an incubator 3 having a second lid body 21 a decontamination medium supply means 10 which supplies the decontamination space S1 with decontamination medium through a supply pipe line 41 and a discharge pipe line 43 which discharges the decontamination medium of the decontamination space S1. In addition, a lid body connection means 8 is provided which connects the first lid body 11 and the second lid body 21 and forms around them the annular decontamination space S1, and a shielding member 36 is provided inside the annular decontamination space S1 to prevent the flow of the decontamination medium and to divide the annular decontamination space S1 into the slender tube-like decontamination space S1. Further, the supply pipe line 41 is connected at both ends of the annular decontamination space S1, and the discharge pipe line 43 is connected between them.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【解決手段】 無菌接続装置4は、第1蓋体11を備えたアイソレータ2と第2蓋体21を備えたインキュベータ3との間に除染空間S1を形成する密封手段9と、供給管路41を介して除染媒体を上記除染空間S1へと供給する除染媒体供給手段10と、上記除染空間S1の除染媒体を排出する排出管路43とを備えている。さらに、上記第1蓋体11と第2蓋体21とを連結してこれらの周囲に環状の除染空間S1に形成する蓋体接続手段8と、該環状の除染空間S1の内部に除染媒体の流通を妨げる遮蔽部材36を設けて、上記環状の除染空間S1を細長い管路状の除染空間S1に区画し、さらに上記細長い除染空間S1の両端部分に供給管路41を、それらの間に上記排出管路43を接続している。【効果】 除染空間を蓋体を囲繞する小容量で環状の除染空間にすることで、効率的に除染することができる。【選択図】 図3
