  • Systems and methods for controlling the process of compounding admixtures
    Patent number: 11559469
    Abstract: A compounding apparatus for mixing at least two materials into an admixture can include a processor and software configured to select a non-universal ingredient for substitution as a temporary universal ingredient to be used as a buffer when an original universal ingredient buffer is not available. The processor and software can also include an auto adjust feature to correct for tube wear and other factors creating non-compliant final bag fills. The processor and software can also include a disable station designation feature that allows for disabling a problem station and diverting operation from the designated disabled station to a substitute station. Such operation can ensure continued production of the compounding apparatus.
