Harvard Apparatus warranties this instrument for a period of two years from date of pur- chase. At its option, Harvard Apparatus will repair or replace the unit if it is found to be defective as to workmanship or materials. This warranty does not extend to damage result- ing from misuse, neglect or abuse, normal wear and tear, or accident.
General Safety Summary Please read the following safety precautions to ensure proper use of your syringe pump. To avoid potential hazards and product damage, use this product only as instructed in this manual. To Prevent Hazard or Injury: U U s s e e P P r r o o p p e e r r L L i i n n e e C C o o r r d d Use only the specified line cord for this product and make sure line cord is certified for country of use.
The numerous features of the PHD 4400 Hpsi result from the use of microprocessor technology. The PHD 4400 Hpsi Programmable model provides full programmability along with Infuse/Withdraw capability. Use of the REFILL RATE key, INFUSE/REFILL key, PRO- GRAM key, AUTO FILL key, Retaining Brackets and Adjustable Stops are all described in detail in Section 8 of this manual.
Features P P r r e e s s s s u u r r e e a a n n d d S S p p e e e e d d PHD 4400 Hpsi can deliver up to 220.82 ml/minute with a single 140 ml syringe. Maximum pressure is dependent on syringe size.
Features E E x x t t e e r r n n a a l l C C o o n n n n e e c c t t i i o o n n s s User I/O Allows pump operations to be synchronized with external devices or by a person at a distance from the pump.
User Interface The user interface consists of a keypad with a display area The display consists of a 2 line, 40 character alphanumeric vacuum fluorescent display. The display will show one of three types of messages: Default display, setting display, or an informational message. The top line of the display is divided into three sections.

Initial Setup Figure 2a. Rear Panel: Power Entry and Serial Number Label Read the entire manual to become familiar with all features and functions of the PHD 4400 Hpsi. The operating voltage range for the PHD 4400 Hpsi is 100 - 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. Use only the specified line cord for this product and make sure line cord is cer- tified for country of use.
Operation Figure 3. Fuse Replacement Because of the wide range of functions that the PHD 4400 Hpsi is capable of per- forming, certain information about your application must be entered into the pump. At minimum, the pump needs to know the diameter of your syringe, the infusion rate and direction of travel.
Page 18
If desired, adjustable stops to limit the syringe plunger travel may be purchased from Harvard Apparatus (see Appendix J for part number). Install the stops on the two guide rods at the desired locations.

Operation R R u u n n n n i i n n g g t t h h e e P P u u m m p p Pressing the RUN/STOP key starts the pump. The pump will operate according to the rel- evant data entered as interpreted by the selected run mode.
Operation T T a a r r g g e e t t V V o o l l u u m m e e The Target Volume is the volume that you desire to deliver at the set Infuse or Refill Rate. The pump must be set for this Volume mode for this feature to work.
Program Mode P P r r o o g g r r a a m m D D e e s s c c r r i i p p t t i i o o n n A program is made up of a set of sequences. Each sequence being a set of operating instructions for the pump to follow.
Program Mode S S e e q q u u e e n n c c e e o o f f O O p p e e r r a a t t i i o o n n Use the PROGRAM key to select the sequence’s operation.

Program Mode Dispense Repeatedly dispense specified volume. Runs at specified flow rate until a volume is pumped or a time interval has elapsed, then pump will stop. If no time interval was specified (Strategy 1), the display will show ‘TRIGGER’ and the next dispense will begin after an external or keyboard run command.

4 is set to a logic high for the duration of the bolus after which it is dropped. This output pin can be attached to the timer input of another pump, such as a Harvard Pump 22 or 44, to create a precise mixture during the bolus. After the bolus i i s s c c o o m m - - p p l l e e t t e e d d , , the Pump 22 would be stopped and the PHD 4400 Hpsi would return to deliv- ering its background rate of 300 ml/hr, waiting for another external event.
