Claim:
1. A method for use of an automatic compounder for compounding a preparation corresponding to a requested therapy to be administered to a patient, the method comprising: receiving, at the compounder, a manifest corresponding to the preparation to be compounded, wherein the manifest comprises an indication of a receiving receptacle that contains a volume of at least a first component for inclusion in the preparation, and wherein the manifest comprises an indication of an amount of at least one additive to be added to the receiving receptacle; establishing fluid interconnection between a delivery port of the compounder and the receiving receptacle and between an input port of the compounder and an additive receptacle containing the additive to be added to the receiving receptacle, wherein the receiving receptacle comprises a prepackaged container containing the volume of at least the first component; delivering, using a preprogrammed logic of the compounder, the amount of the additive from the additive receptacle to the receiving receptacle at least partially based on the manifest, wherein the preprogrammed logic of the compounder automatically controls flow from the input port to the delivery port; receiving the receiving receptacle at a receptacle support of the compounder; measuring, at the compounder in response to receiving the receiving receptacle, at least one beginning physical property of the receiving receptacle prior to the delivering; and comparing, using the preprogrammed logic, the least one beginning physical property of the receiving receptacle measured by the compounder to an expected physical property for the receiving receptacle.
