PUMPS

Pegasus Vario & Pegasus Light

Infusion Pump for Telemetry with patent precision technology.

(Transmission by InfraRed IR or RadioFrequency RF)
The infusion Pump PEGASUS is quite simply the most advanced Laboratory Animal Infusion
Pump available. PEGASUS for telemetry is a combination of sophisticated hardware and
custom software developed exclusively for laboratory Animal Research.

Our R&D team is continuously updating PEGASUS for improved Laboratory Animal function.
For example, we have developed the following unique features in response to your requests...
- Custom profiles programmable on PC
- Start/Stop time and date programmable on pump LCD
- Real- time Monitoring software (checks on pump status from PC)
 
Description
PEGASUS Telemetry is designed to provide the ultimate in "hands-off" tetherless infusion.
All control of the pump is done from a PC via infra-red or radio signal... no tether or wire
are required. This telemetry pump allows the researcher the freedom and flexibility of altering
infusions as often as desired without disturbing the animal.
 
Number of animals per system
* 1 - 6 animals can be programmed and monitored from one PC.
 
Programming
* Capable of programming continuous, intermittent, or custom profiles from PC. Programs
may be changed as often as desired.
* Capable of administering bolus from PC.
* Capable of stopping flow from PC.
* PC "interface" box allows for simple (continuous) to complex (loading dose, chrono,
irregular, etc.) custom profiles via "PEGEDIT" DOS software package.
 
Monitoring
* One PC monitors performance of all pumps.
* Alerts are signalled on the PC.
* Pumps may be monitored in a remote office or even off-site.
* A complete record of the continuous monitoring is stored.
 
Most versatile
PEGASUS can replace a
* Syringe pump (micro flow)
* Tetherless pump (like CADD)
* Tethered pump (high flow)
 
Accuracy
Accuracy of + 2 % in PEGASUS Vario (+ 5 % in PEGASUS light) is maintained even
with high downstream pressure.
 
Start and stop time/date
* Ability to set start/stop time and date directly on pump keypad.
* If start/stop are not set, pump will start when turned on and stop when turned off.
 
Download pump data
All pump activity is recorded on a microchip. Data may be down-loaded to create a complete
infusion record for documentation.
 
Continuous flow
Portable pumps deliver the desired flow rate in pulses. PEGASUS Vario pulse is 0.4 µl,
which is 100 x smaller than the pulse of other pumps. At small flow rates, other pumps
will in fact deliver intermittent, not continuous, infusion, while PEGASUS micropulsing
ensures virtually pure continuous flow.
 
Battery or AC
PEGASUS is supplied for use with batteries (2 x 1.5 V), but it can be adapted for AC power.
 
Additional Pump Protection
For the animal infusion application, a strong box is at your disposable to place the pump
and a reservoir with approximately 120 ml medication. This strong box protects the pump
against damage due to unusually aggressive animal behaviour.
