PHD

ULTRA
TM
Advanced Syringe Pumps
Program Description
To operate the PHD ULTRA
TM
, the user defines all the required
parameters for infusing and/or withdrawing liquids through a Method.
This may be a Quick Start, Pre-Programmed or User-Defined Method.
The basic operation is a simple 3-step procedure:
1. Select a Method
2. Enter operating parameters
3. Preview or Run your Method
Quick Start Methods are for simple infusions, withdrawals or
a combination (depending on the pump model). Custom user-
defined Methods can be created when a more advanced Method is
required. The setup for a custom Method is easy using the standard
profiles found on all Infusion/Withdrawal and Infusion/Withdrawal
Programmable PHD ULTRAS. The list of available profiles are:

By programming and saving custom Methods in the pump, multi-user
errors are reduced. Easily transfer complex methods to other pumps
and/or download methods from a PC. Forget having to duplicate
method-development efforts for each new pump added to your system.
In addition to the advanced pumping profiles listed above, the PHD
ULTRA
TM
contains a variety of advanced options allowing the user to
repeat steps, link methods, control valves, external triggers etc.
Advanced Programming Features
Flow Programming:
Change the flow with time, volume or a
triggered event as many times as you like.
Bolus:
Inject a large volume of drug (or drugs) at once.
The bolus injection can be made in time or volume.
Concentration Delivery:
Calibrate flow in concentration units
of mg/kg easily so flow is calibrated to concentration of drug
and animal weight.
Gradients:
EZ PRO software allows you to easily program
gradients, continuous or stepped.
% Ratio:
Up to three solvents.
I/O:
Dedicated and user defined I/O.
Pulsed Flow:
So you can program the pulse easily.
Advanced Connectivity
All PHD ULTRA
TM
Syringe Pumps come standard with a footswitch,
USB, RS-232, RS-485 and I/O connectors. There is also an option
for RJ-11 connectors and analog control. These options have to be
ordered at the time the pump is ordered.
