Compounding device, system, kit, software, and method

A manifold for a compounding device, comprising:

• a housing;
• at least one primary intake port located on the housing and including a primary valve configured to open and close the at least one primary intake port to permit or refuse passage of at least one primary ingredient through the manifold;
• a plurality of secondary intake ports located on the housing, each of the secondary intake ports including a secondary valve configured to open and close a respective one of the plurality of secondary intake ports to permit or refuse passage of a plurality of secondary ingredients through the manifold;
• a first channel in fluid communication with the at least one primary valve and including an outlet port configured to outlet the at least one primary ingredient from the manifold, wherein a filler is located in the first channel and is configured to reduce a cross-sectional area taken normal to a longitudinal axis of the first channel, and wherein the at least one primary valve is located adjacent to the first channel of the manifold;
• and
• a second channel in fluid communication with the plurality of secondary valves and including an outlet port configured to outlet at least one of the plurality of secondary ingredients from the manifold, wherein the secondary valves are located adjacent to the second channel of the manifold,
• wherein the first channel and second channel are in fluid isolation from each other such that the at least one primary ingredient does not mix with the plurality of secondary ingredients within the manifold, and
• wherein an inner diameter of the first channel is equal to an inner diameter of the second channel.
