Abstract
Various aspects of the subject disclosure relate to a compounder system having a cartridge that includes fluid pathways controllable by valves of the cartridge. A pump component within the cartridge is actuable to move fluid through the controllable fluid pathways. The cartridge includes a needle extending from a cartridge body and fluidly coupled to at least one of the controllable fluid pathways. A vial puck is provided for attachment to a vial to be fluidly coupled to the cartridge by the needle. The vial puck may include a hygroscopic member to absorb fluid from the needle to ensure a dry disconnect. A shuttle valve may also be provided.
