1. A compounding apparatus for facilitating formation of an admixture by mixing at least three materials selected among multiple distinct materials, the compounding apparatus being usable with an admixture container that is configured to contain the admixture, and also being usable with multiple material containers that are each configured to contain one of the at least three materials, the compounding apparatus comprising:

  • a delivery device that is configured to deliver the at least three selected materials from the material containers to the admixture container to facilitate formation of the admixture, the delivery device including a first pump and a second pump as well as a first line and a second line, the first pump being configured such that actuation thereof delivers a selected first of the at least three materials from its associated material container to the admixture container via the first line, the second pump being configured such that actuation thereof delivers a selected second material and third material of the at least three materials from a second material container and a third material container, respectively, to the admixture container via the second line; and

    a processor including a memory that is configured to store admixture data representing amounts of the at least three selected materials required to form the admixture, and line supply data that identifies either the first line or the second line as being appropriate to supply each of the at least three selected materials, the processor also including a controller that is configured to selectively actuate the first pump and second pump to supply the amounts of the at least three selected materials to the admixture container so as to facilitate formation of the admixture, the controller also being configured to selectively actuate the first pump and second pump so as to supply each of the at least three selected materials via the identified first line or second line.
