Zusammenfassung:	A mixing assembly which transfers a num- ber of nutritional fluids from individual source containers into a collection container while non- invasively sensing the type of fluid being trans- ferred is provided. The mixing assembly utilizes a transfer set to establish fluid communication be- tween the source containers and the collection con- tainer. A sensing assembly is configured to non- invasively sense a number of the types of fluid flowing through the transfer set to help to prevent improper mixing. For other fluids for which the sensing assembly alone may not be able to distin- guish with the desired accuracy, the mixing device utilizes a method to approximate the flow rate of that fluid with the flow rate also providing an in- dication of that type of fluid. By combining the output of the sensing assembly with the flow rate determination, additional fluids can be identified.
