I claim:
1. An apparatus for the transmission of the pressure in the sterile area of a medical appliance to a non-sterile pressure gauge having a non-sterile connector of polyesterpolyether-copolymer and a connector on the sterile side consisting of polycarbonate, wherein between the two connectors there is provided a sterility filter consisting of polytetrafluorethylene, which is positioned in a fluid-tight manner between two halves of the housing, said filter being supported by a backing, wherein the housing half on the sterile side comprises polycarbonate, characterized in that the non-sterile half of the housing consists of polyesterpolyether-copolymer and in that the two halves are connected by ultrasonic welding.
2. The apparatus according to claim 1, characterized in that the backing comprises polyester.
3. The apparatus according to claim 1, characterized in that the non-sterile half of the housing has a thin circumferential projection which partly overlies the sterile half of the housing thereby forming an area for ultrasonic welding.
4. The apparatus according to claim 3, characterized in that a circumferential groove is provided in the projection in the non-sterile half into which a projection of the sterile half engages.
5. The apparatus according to claim 4, characterized in that the projection of the sterile half is provided with a bevel in the direction of the non-sterile half.
6. The apparatus according to claim 4, characterized in that the groove is bevelled on its inner side.
7. A pressure transmission apparatus comprising:
a) a first housing half comprising polyesterpolyether-copolymer;
b) a second housing half comprising polycarbonate;
c) a sterility filter supported by a backing disposed between the first and second housing halves in a fluid tight manner; and
d) the first and second housing halves being ultrasonically welded together.
