Motorized mixing device for use with medical agents

A medical device system, comprising:

• a mixing device including—
• a housing defining a chamber configured to contain a fluid and having a longitudinal axis;
• a plunger assembly configured to be received by the chamber, the plunger assembly comprising a plunger and a stirring member extending along the longitudinal axis, the plunger being rotatably coupled to the plunger, the stirring member having a distal portion disposed within the chamber of the housing;
• and
• an actuating assembly operably coupled to the stirring member, the actuating assembly having an active state in which the actuating assembly causes the distal end portion of the stirring member to rotate at a predetermined speed.

A method for mixing a medical agent, the method comprising:

• providing a mixing device including—
• a housing defining a chamber containing a fluid and having a longitudinal axis;
• a plunger assembly at least partially disposed within the chamber, the plunger assembly including a plunger and a stirring member rotatably coupled to the plunger, the stirring member disposed within the chamber of the housing such that a distal portion of the stirring member is proximate the fluid;
• and
• an actuating assembly operably coupled to the stirring member, the actuating assembly having an active state in which the actuating assembly causes the distal end portion of the stirring member to rotate at a predetermined speed;
• and
• operating the actuating assembly such that the stirring member mixes the fluid.
