In compounding Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN), an automix is used to assist with the preparation of TPN orders. This automated compounding device prepares the Intravenous products containing dextrose, amino acids, trace mineral, vitamins, and other pharmacological agents. Additionally, TPN is administered to patients who have a condition that prevents proper absorption of nutrients or unable to swallow.
