  • the sequence of different liquids in the inlet of the target container is taken into account in order to include the density of the liquids during the checking during weighing.
  • This embodiment of the invention is based on the recognition that the accuracy of the check is increased at each dosing step by taking into account the density, ie the specific weight of the respective liquid transferred to the target container.
  • the liquid in the dosage of micro quantities, it may be that after removal of a predetermined amount of liquid from a source container, the liquid does not arrive directly in the target container, but is initially in the transfer set, for example, in the tube inserted in the hose pump.
  • the liquid that is in front of this liquid in the transfer set and that is now pressed into the target container may have a different density. Therefore, only the weight gain of the target container can not be used as a sufficiently accurate measure of the transferred amount.
  • the inlet of the target container is subdivided into sections, each containing liquid of a different density.
  • This principle is based on the consideration that all liquids taken from the source containers ultimately arrive in the target container. Since the volume of the distance from the source container or from the valve, from which the liquid of the respective source container flows into the valve unit, to the source container located on the balance is known, it can be calculated which liquid or which liquids arrives at a dosing in the target container or Arrive.
  • the volume is determined by the valve unit from the position of the respective valve of the source container, and the guided through the hose pump hose connecting the valve unit with the target container.
  • the density of the introduced liquid may differ at least at the beginning of the metering step.

  • the flow sensor is arranged on the suction side.
  • a flow sensor may be provided in which a hose of the transfer set is inserted.
  • Such flow sensors are known. It has been found that these are not suitable for accurately determining the flow rate even at very low flow rates. In the case of a blockage or in the case of a non-opening valve of the transfer set such a high deviation from a setpoint can be determined via the flow sensor, however, that it can be concluded that the flow rate to the current theoretical flow rate of the pump is not plausible.
  • the procedure can then be aborted and the user of the system informed about an error message.
  • a bubble sensor (Bubble Detector) is used to check in an inlet in the target container that no bubbles are conveyed in the hose
  • This bubble sensor which may for example be designed as an ultrasonic sensor, is preferably located on the pressure side to the peristaltic pump. It is in particular a sensor in which the tube of a transfer set can be inserted.
  • the procedure may also be stopped and the user informed of an error message.
  • the metering factor of the peristaltic pump is determined in an upstream calibration step by weighing a target container.
  • the metering factor is the volume which is conveyed when delivering a certain liquid, in particular when pumping water, at a certain speed of the impeller and at a full pump revolution.
  • the metering factor depends, among other things, on tolerances of the hose inserted into the pump. This metering factor can be calibrated during commissioning of the system when filling a target container in order to adapt the activation of the peristaltic pump to a newly used transfer set.

  • the metering factor is in turn to be set in relation to the above-described consideration of the non-linear region of the suction-side and pressure-side characteristic of the peristaltic pump.
  • the pumping capacity of a peristaltic pump depends inter alia on the medium to be delivered, in particular on the viscosity of the liquid to be delivered. This dependence can, as it is provided in one embodiment of the invention, also be taken into account in the calculation of the quantities delivered.
  • a flow factor of 1, 0 can be used, for other media, such as glucose, this flow factor takes on higher values, for example values up to 1, 1. This can be taken into account in the calculation of the quantities produced, in particular the quantities of main components produced, by including the flow factor in the calculation of the volume delivered.

  • the volume of the liquid introduced is calculated on the basis of the pressure-side characteristic of the peristaltic pump.
  • the specific weight of the transferred liquid or liquids can then be used to calculate the target weight.
  • This target weight serves to determine the limit values mentioned in FIG. 8.
  • a first limit range could be defined as a deviation of over 10% and a second limit range as a deviation above 5%.
  • boundary regions can also be varied depending on the liquid withdrawn in a dosing step, since there are components in which deviations in the amount are more or less critical to the quality of the medicinal preparation.
  • Fig. 10 is a flow chart for explaining control of the bubble sensor.
  • the amount of bubbles in the transferred liquid is about the arranged after the hose pump bubble sensor is continuously monitored.
  • two border areas are provided.
  • the filling process is interrupted and an error message is issued. If a second, narrower limit range is not adhered to, the filling process can continue and the target container can be used as intended, but when the filling process is completed an error message appears indicating that the system must be bled.
  • next target container can be inserted after completing the filling process
  • FIG. 11 is a flow chart to explain control of the flow sensor.
  • the flow rate is calculated continuously, preferably on the basis of the suction-side characteristic of the peristaltic pump. In parallel, the flow rate is measured with a flow sensor located upstream of the peristaltic pump.
  • Measured and calculated flow rates are compared. If there is a deviation above a threshold, in this example 20%, an error (e.g., occlusion) is closed and the filling process is aborted.
  • a threshold in this example 20%
  • An error message informs the user.
  • any error message to indicate to the user the source container (e.g., via a number on a screen) from which liquid was withdrawn upon fault entry.
