A high speed bulk compounder system for filling upper and lower chambers of dual chamber TPN bags with fluid from source containers includes a controller for controlling the operation of peristaltic pump stations, each station being associated with one of the source containers. The controller activates the peristaltic pumps sequentially to draw fluids from certain ones of the source container so that the fluids flow through a common manifold and a lower chamber fill tubing into the lower chamber of the dual chamber bag. Once the lower chamber has been filled, another pump station is activated so that fluid is drawn from another of the source containers and flows through an upper chamber connector, through an upper chamber fill tubing and into the upper chamber of the dual chamber bag.

A compounder system having a controller means for controlling transfer of at least a first fluid from a first source container means and at least a second fluid from a second source container means, said compounder system comprising: a flexible bag having first and second chambers with said first and second chambers extending toward each other from opposed ends of said flexible bag and being defined by opposed sidewalls extending between said opposed ends; a separating means extending across said flexible bag between said opposed sidewalls for temporarily separating said first chamber from said second chamber; a first connector means; a first fill means for interconnecting said first connector means to said first chamber at said opposed end from which said first chamber extends; first source means for interconnecting said first source container means to said first connector means; first pump means controlled by said controller and associated with said first source means for transferring a selected amount of said first fluid through said first source means, said first connector means and said first fill means to said first chamber; a second connector means; a second fill means for interconnecting said second connector means to said second chamber at said opposed end from which said second chamber extends; second source means for interconnecting said second source container means to said second connector means; and second pump means controlled by said controller and associated with second source means for transferring a selected amount of said second fluid through said second source means, said second connector means and said second fill means to said second chamber.
