BULK COMPOUNDER MANIFOLD

摘要

The present invention provides a manifold (10) for receiving fluid tubes in a bulk compounder. In its simplest form, the manifold includes a plurality of inlets, each inlet defining an opening to a respective fluid passageway, and each passageway contains a check-valve. Included in this manifold is an outlet (310) in fluid communication with the fluid passageways and an inlet port (140) which is coaxial with the outlet (310). The coaxial inlet port (140) contains a check-valve (150). Included as a part of the present invention is a cannula (300) adapted for use with the manifold of the present invention, tube sets for use with the manifold of the present invention, and a method of minimizing error in filling a bag using a manifold in accordance with the present invention.
