ABSTRACT:
A disposable fluid transport system is provided for dispensing sterile fluids from a pressure vessel. The pressure vessel has an internal chamber with an outlet opening extending therethrough. The fluid transport system includes a collapsible media bag having an internal compartment defining a sterile environment. A first end of a delivery tube is attached in fluid communication to the compartment of the media bag. Disposed at a point along the length of a delivery tube is an interface adapter. The interface adapter includes an annular flange which encircles and radially projects out from the exterior surface of the delivery tube. The gasket is formed of a resiliently flexible material and has an outside diameter that is larger than the inside diameter of the outlet opening on the pressure vessel. Once the media bag and delivery tube are positioned within the chamber of the pressure vessel, the second end of the delivery tube can be fed out the outlet opening. As a result of the flexible nature of the gasket, the gasket can also be constricted to pass through the outlet opening and then radially expanded. A clamp can then be used to seal the gasket on the outlet opening so as to seal the outlet opening closed.
