1. A system for delivering a fluid to a patient, the system comprising:
- a hazardous material enclosure suitable for holding a first container comprising a first fluid, wherein the enclosure comprises a cap including a flexible sealing member and a conduit;
a pump device having a pump body, wherein the pump device is capable of pumping the first fluid from the first container and a second fluid from a second container;
a fluid path operably connected to the pump device; and
a mixing device associated with the pump device for mixing the first fluid and the second fluid for delivering a fluid mixture of the first fluid and the second fluid to the patient,wherein the flexible sealing member cooperates with the first container to create a biohazard seal during connection of the first container to the cap, and the conduit is configured to make a fluid connection with the first container and the fluid path, andwherein the enclosure is adapted to be removeably attachable to the pump device.
