    "retain" negative pressure (analogous to the "retaining" current used in iontophoretic systems). The "retain" pressure must be generated by an additional pneumatic device. Please contact npi electronic for details. The injection pressure is preset by a precision pressure regulator. The pressure is displayed on a digital manometer.
