Abstract
An exemplary compounding system and device for mixing materials can include a housing, a first material source and a second material source. A first fluid line can be operationally connected to the housing and configured to transport a first volume of fluid per unit time from the first material source to a final container. A second fluid line can be operationally connected to the housing and configured to transport a second volume of fluid per unit time from the second material source to the final container. The device can also include a pump system including, a first pump having a first rotor and a first platen which secures the first fluid line between the first rotor and the first platen, the first pump being configured to move the first volume of fluid through the first fluid line, and a second pump having a second rotor and a second platen which secures the second fluid line between the second rotor and the second platen, the second pump being configured to move the second volume of fluid through the second fluid line. A first platen lock can be provided and can be rotated in a first direction to lock the first platen in a closed position relative to the first rotor, and wherein rotation of the first rotor draws the first material source through the first fluid line. The pump system can also be configured such that the volume of fluid per unit time delivered by the first and second pumps is different, and/or where the first and second pumps have different head characteristics.
