Method of identifying a container () obtained by a process comprising the following steps: (A) starting from a blank () of the container (), at least part of the said container () is formed; (B) a two-dimensional or three-dimensional marking zone (), the temperature of which is maintained at a value below the glass transformation temperature of the constituent substrate, is provided in or on the substrate of the blank () and, in the said marking zone (), an identification code () is reproduced by illumination () of the said marking zone () with at least one beam () of coherent monochromatic localized electromagnetic radiation to which the substrate is at least partially transparent, the said beam () being operated and controlled in order to remove or modify the constituent substrate of the wall () and to leave the identification code (), in positive or negative form, in the said wall so that the said code is readable; and (C) at least the said marking zone () is annealed so as at least to reduce the differences in internal tension in the substrate between the said marking zone () and the rest of the said wall ().

Method of identifying a container and/or a finished article obtained from the said container, in particular for medical use

The present invention relates to a method of identifying a batch of articles comprising the following step: (AA) a plurality of containers () is taken, characterized in that the following steps are carried out: (AB) one intrinsic identification code () is generated for the batch; (AC) the batch of containers () is marked by providing a two-dimensional or three-dimensional intrinsic marking zone () in the wall () of each container () and reproducing a readable intrinsic identification code () in each container () identified by the latter, by the modification of the constituent substrate of the wall (); (AD) one extrinsic identification code (), relating to the product () filling the containers () of the batch, is generated; (AE) the batch of containers () filled with the product () is marked again, by associating with each container () an extrinsic marking means () that readably reproduces each extrinsic identification code (); (AF) each article is identified by reading its intrinsic () and extrinsic () identification codes.

A package for transporting objects which are sterile or which are to be sterilized. The package has a box for accommodating objects, and a covering sheet made of a leak tight material which is fastened to the box so as to seal the box in a leak tight manner. The package has a layer of a material forming a screen which is at least partial with respect to a decontamination gas and/or able to absorb a decontamination gas. The layer is sized to be placed in the box along the covering sheet such that the layer lies above the objects. A plate or grill is provided with projections and is shaped, depending on the position of the package, to allow unrestricted diffusion of the sterilization gas over the objects, and to restrict or prevent diffusion of the decontamination gas over these same objects.

Packaging for sterile objects or objects to be sterilized

A packaging having a box, and a cover sheet made of a material that is not permeable to decontamination gas. The cover sheet has a window closed by a piece of selectively impervious material. A flexible piece of a material that is not permeable to a decontamination gas is fixed to the cover sheet by at least one of its edges and has a free part which is able to move between a diffusion position and a non-diffusion position.

The invention concerns a plastic package, having a content capable of being sterilised at high temperature, said package comprising at least a fluid communication member () between the inside and the outside of said package consisting of at least a frame circumscribing an opening and an inner seal () closing the opening, and whereof the peripheral edge () continuously linked to said frame, said inner seal including, a selectively sealing material sheet whereof the cutoff threshold from outside inwards, stops contaminating particles and allows through the thermal sterilising fluid, said selectively sealing material being deformable in the plane of said sheet at said high temperature. The invention is characterised in that it comprises means compensating the planar deformation of the selectively sealing material sheet, when said inner seal () is in contact with the thermal sterilising fluid, said compensating means being designed to release at least part of the load in the direction opening the fluid communication member () applied on the frame as a result of said deformation.
