An apparatus for a sterile transfer of a material incudes a second safety device which locks an actuation mechanism in a closed position and unlocks the actuation mechanism when a container flange is correctly connected to a port flange, a third safety device which locks the container flange connected to the port flange when the actuation mechanism leaves the closed position, and a fourth safety device which blocks a return of the actuation mechanism from the open position to the closed position when the port door is open. The second, third and/or fourth safety device comprises two magnetic elements with at least one closed wall being arranged between the two magnetic elements. The two magnetic elements are configured to mutually attract or to mutually repel through the at least one closed wall either in a lock position or in an unlock position of the second, third and/or fourth safety device.
