Abstract
A stoppered vial containing a medicament to be mixed with a diluent is enclosed within a flexible I.V. fluid container. Mixing of the medicament in the stoppered vial with a diluent also contained within the flexible I.V. fluid container is accomplished by first, unstoppering the vial by manipulation of the flexible sides of the container; then second, causing the fluid to intermix with the medicament in the vial by compressing that portion of the flexible container holding the diluent.
