.3.2 Aseptic Port Sensor Attachment (Connecting to a Female Kleenpak
®
S
terile Connector)
NOTE: Sensors must be installed in the Allegro single-use mixer system before fluid
is added.
Connecting the bellows assembly (including sensor) to the single-use mixer
1. Insert appropriate 225 mm sensor (i.e. pH) into
the bellows assembly and secure. Contact Pall
for recommended sensors.
NOTE: Take care not to push the sensor end too far
during installation in the bellows, as this may cause
damage to the Kleenpak sterile connector peel strip.
2. If required autoclave this assembly prior to use
utilizing an appropriate support mechanism to avoid
damage during autoclave. Contact Pall for details of
support manifold.
1. Remove protective caps from both the female
Kleenpak sterile connector (attached to the
single-use system) and the male Kleenpak sterile
connector (on the bellows assembly) and follow
the Kleenpak sterile connector instructions (Pall
document reference number USD 2233) to make
the sensor connection.
2. Connect the male and female Kleenpak sterile
connectors (peel strips still in folded position, strips
facing up) by 'clicking' them together, inspecting
the locating regions on both sides of the Kleenpak
sterile connectors to conrm full engagement.
NOTE: Take care not to push the sensor during
attachment, as this may cause damage to the
Kleenpak sterile connector peel strips.
3. Supporting the Kleenpak sterile connector, remove
the anti-actuation tab. NOTE: At this point a
Kleenpak assembly aid can be used to conrm
full engagement of the male connector to the female
connector, although with full operational training, the
assembly aid is generally not routinely required.
4. Supporting the Kleenpak sterile connector, remove
both peel strips simultaneously.
