A method of managing a mixed injection preparation process includes obtaining a mixed injection preparation instruction (e.g., a prescription) and obtaining information about a drug to be potentially included in the mixed injection according to the preparation instruction. The information about the candidate drug is compared to the preparation instruction and a determination as to whether the mixed injection is prepared in accordance with the mixed injection preparation instruction is made based on the information obtained about the candidate drug. A printer is used to print a label indicating whether the mixed injection is prepared in accordance with the mixed injection preparation instruction, and then it is determined whether the label is removed from the printer.
