A system for mixing a batch of medicament has a pump actuator, control valve actuators, a source of concentrate, and a purified water source, all connected by a fluid circuit. A controller controls various control valves to open fluid channels from the source of concentrate and from the purified water source to connect a junction of the fluid circuit to the concentrate container and the purified water source. The controller also controls the pump actuator and a water pump to flow water and concentrate through the junction into a mixing container, such that the mixture of the concentrate and the water requires additional dilution to form a ready-to-use medicament. The controller samples the mixture and calculate an additional quantity of water to add based on the sampling.

Fluid mixing unit with meandering flow through partitions of a porous body

A fluid mixing unit includes a cylindrical porous body partitioning a container into a first flow space and a second flow space surrounding the first flow space. A first supply port supplies a first fluid to one of the first and second flow spaces. A second supply port provided on one end side of the container in an axial direction of the cylindrical body supplies a second fluid to the other flow space. An outlet for a mixed fluid is provided on the other end side of the container to be open only to the other flow space. Closing members are provided in a plurality of stages along the axial direction to alternately close a right and a left of the other flow space as seen in the axial direction in the other flow space. A meandering flow is formed in the other flow space to create the mixed fluid.
