4. Open the filling line supply and begin to fill the system through the biocontainer inlet.
5. After adding about 15 liters, stop and make sure the biocontainer base is flat and reaches into
the corners of the tote.
6. Close the doors and monitor the filling process. Sight glasses are located on each module to
view the filling. (Figure 25)

Warning:
Do not fill the biocontainer above its maximum volume specifications
7. As the filling is in progress, the operator MUST regularly raise the hoist to avoid folds developing.
Warning:
Failure to raise the hoist during the filling process may result in a fold in the biocontainer
that can potentially cause uneven filling
Warning:
Do not open the doors during filling operation.
Note:
Allegro 1000 L 3D biocontainers can be filled from either the top or bottom ports. The
2000 L and 3000 L can only be filled from the bottom ports. The biocontainer will naturally move
during filling. When filling through the top ports for the 1000 L, position the tubing in the center
of the biocontainer, so it does not become snagged or pulled during the filling operation. Upon
completion of filling, close the filling line. Disconnect the filling line in accordance with the
requirements of the connection device and your own aseptic standard operating procedures
