The disposable components (tube set) and destination bags.
Information containing operating parameters, the formulary and other
definable variables to be used by the compounder.
The act of pumping ingredients from a source container to the
destination bag.
A single, measured volume of fluid that has been pumped into the
destination bag.
A sterile container that holds the fluid pumped from the source
containers. It can be a patient bag (used for delivering the finished
solution to a patient) or a calibration bag (used for collecting any fluid
that is not intended for a patient).
A mode where you enter a formula manually by specifying the ingredient
and volume to be delivered from each port.
The touch-screen display for the user interface. It mounts to the base
plate.
A specific volume and concentration of an ingredient.
A setup option that helps to improve the efficiency of pumping common
ingredients. When the first container of this ingredient has emptied, the
compounder continues pumping from the next container of this
Two intermediate flushes followed by the final flush.
An injection into the epidural space of the spine for regional anesthesia.
equivalent ingredient products
Products of the same ingredient type that may have different container
sizes, container types or manufacturers.
A delivery of fluid that is pumped to clear all delivered ingredients from
the common fluid pathway, to ensure that these ingredients are fully
present in the finished solution. The fluid used for this flush is always the
Universal Ingredient. The standard volume is 30 mL, but it can be
The ingredients in the patient bag after compounding, including manual
additions.
A value associated with each ingredient that compares the flow of that
ingredient to the flow of water. The flow factor accounts for the
ingredient’s viscosity, the size and type of its source container, its inlet,
its venting and other factors that affect its delivery.
See common fluid pathway.
See final flush, ingredient flush or intermediate flush.
A recipe of ingredients to be compounded. Typically, it is created by the
pharmacist, based on a prescription from a physician.
The list of ingredients, and associated products, which can be attached
to the compounder.
A group of ingredients that you identify as having interaction concerns
with other ingredients.
A solution of a specific chemical entity at a specific concentration,
regardless of the container size, container type or manufacturer. One
ingredient can have several associated products.
A delivery of fluid that is pumped to clear the common fluid pathway
between the delivery of certain ingredients that have interaction
concerns. The fluid used for this flush is usually the Universal Ingredient,
but it can be any compatible ingredient in the configuration and formula.
A list of chemically similar ingredients, used for defining incompatible
groups.
