Lyo Transfer Cart

ICS offers a custom designed Lyo Transfer Cart that is a self-contained, battery powered
enclosure designed for transport of products through uncontrolled space, as required by the
manufacturing process and facility layout. Most commonly, the cart is used during the lyophilizer
process, but the cart can be used to transport any product for any process. Because of recent
scrutiny from the FDA, US drug manufacturers are realizing that products should not be
transferred through unclassified space without the protection of a transfer cart. The cart creates
an ISO Class 5/IEST Class 100 environment to protect the product while being transported
through unclassified areas. Since each user application is unique, the ICS transfer carts are
custom designed for each application. Below are the details of a typical cart.

Positive pressure design: The system creates an environment of laminar flow air within the
cart, using positive air pressure through HEPA filters and aseptic design and manufacturing
principles.

Power: The lyo transfer cart
operates on 110V in loading
and standby mode and then on
battery power for up to two
hours. This typically provides
adequate time to transport the
product as required by your
process needs. The system
includes a visual and an audible
alarm for low battery condition.
While plugged in, the cart
continues normal operation and
charges the battery.

Control panel: The control
panel provides operation status
of the cart and monitors the
pressure of the enclosure and
the power (110V/battery) status
of the unit. Alarms for high
pressure and low pressure are
included. If a low pressure
event occurs, an audio and
visual signal is issued; then a
“keyed” reset is required.

Lyo Transfer Cart: Battery powered, Class 100 design. The unit, as configured, accepts
30 trays. An optional particle counter is shown, top right. The retractable AC power cord
is shown on the lower right side. The control panel, pressure gauge and alarms are
shown upper left.
