At least one access station (12) affords selective access to the closed internal working en- vironment. At least one lateral wall is an equipped wall (24) on which there are defined a plurality of stations for one or more objects (F, A, B, S) which can be used in the preparation of intravenous medicaments. The stations on the equipped wall comprise temporary receiving or parking stations for the f 16 objects (F, A, B, S), and operating stations (31, 34, 42) for carrying out oper- ations on one or more of the objects (F, A, B, S) for preparing intravenous medicaments. The machine further comprises a handling robot (20) which is programmed to transfer the objects from any station to any other station. The machine may comprise a metering module (100) comprising one or more container support groups (102), at least one syringe support/metering mem- ber group (103), and at least one weighing group (105, 106) for weighing ob- jects used in the preparation of intravenous medicaments.
