:
OVERVIEW OF METHODS
To operate the PHD ULTRA
™
, you will define all the required parameters for withdrawing or infusing
liquids through a Pump Control Method. The Pump Control Methods will be commonly referred to as
Methods. A Method defines:
• Details about the syringe being used for the application
• How rapidly you will be dispensing or withdrawing the target fluids
• A target volume or target time for the dispensing or withdrawing operation
• The pumping pattern you want to employ (e.g. pump at a continuous rate, in a ramped fashion, using
variable rate steps, etc.)
• Outbound triggers to external devices
• Responses to signals from external devices
The PHD ULTRA
™
is shipped with a set of pre-installed Methods that are designed to help you to quickly
use the pump in common applications. These pre-installed Methods include:
• Quick Start Methods which are simple infuse, withdraw, or combination (infuse and withdraw)
Methods that operate in a single step and at a constant rate of flow.
• Preloaded Methods which use more complex Method programming capabilities to describe
commonly encountered applications.
In addition, users of the Infuse/Withdraw Programmable model PHD Ultra can quickly create customize
Methods to support more complex dispensing scenarios including:
✐
NOTE: What Methods are available on your pump depend on the specific model you are
using. An Infuse Only model supports only the Quick Start Infuse Method. The
Infuse/Withdraw model supports all Quick Start Methods and one custom Method. The
Infuse/Withdraw Programmable model supports all Methods described in this manual.
