English term or phrase: collapsed
Install presterilized sensor and probe kit using aseptic connection methods as described in section 3.5.2. The aseptic connection is completed prior to the bellows being collapsed (Figure 3.81).
Insert the probe by collapsing the bellows (Figure 3.82).
Claire Mendes Real
se ferme complètement
Explanation:
I understand that the collapsing of the bellows occurs while the connection is being made, not "before". And proper closure of the connector must be achieved before the bellows reaches its fully closed state (because when fully closed it will prevent further movement of the parts being connected).

Best to re-phrase it in French. For example:
prior to the bellows being collapsed
-->
avant que le soufflet se ferme complètement
