4.2.4.13. Concentration wizard
A Concentration Wizard is available to facilitate the task of
designing a step sequence (or a single step) from a known target
concentration and dose. This tool is accessible both through the flow
evolution toolbar and from the Concentration Wizard … option in the
contextual menu of the chart.
The following information must be entered to set up a concentration
step:
• Animal weight: the weight (always in Kg) of the subject to/from
which the fluid will be infused / withdrawn.
• Flow rate: the expected flow rate to be applied.
• Flow rate units: the units of the flow rate. The possible volume units
are ml, ul, nl and pl and the possible time units are sec, min and hr.
• Concentration: the concentration of the fluid to be infused /
withdrawn (always in mg/ml).
• Number of doses: the amount of doses to be infused / withdrawn.
• Dose to apply: the dose to be infused / withdrawn (always in mg/kg).
• Lag time: amount of time to wait between each dose infusion /
withdrawal (in time format hh:mm:ss).
• Duration: the duration (always in minutes) of the single step to be
inserted. The default value will be 1 min.
