Summary:<br />
At initial release, PharmSpec 3.0 was only compatible with the HIAC 9703+. After thorough<br />
testing on legacy HIAC 9703 and 9705 instruments, we now are releasing the sale of<br />
PharmSpec 3.0 for use on older instruments.<br />
Please note: PharmSpec 3.0 will recognize a legacy 9703 automatically and the User Interface<br />
will only allow PharmSpec 2.2 feature sets.<br />
USP 33 database procedure updates will be available on www.hach.com on or before<br />
November 5, 2010.<br />
A brief summary of the new PharmSpec license keys for additional features is as follows:<br />
USP 789 license enables standard large volume sample size testing to comply with the<br />
USP 789 ophthalmic regulation.<br />
Procedure distributor allows clients to distribute unique test recipes between PharmSpec<br />
licenses, commonly required on sites that use multiple HIAC 9703+ instruments.<br />
R&D mode (no 21 CFR part 11 security) license removes all 21 CFR part 11 security<br />
protocols on the PharmSpec 3.0 software. Users don’t have logins, user administration,<br />
or electronic signings which are controlled by 21 CFR part 11 security protocols.<br />
The next release of PharmSpec 3.X software is targeted for March/April 2011. This release will<br />
include:<br />
Local language translations (German, French, Japanese, Italian)<br />
Updated archive database reviewer that will eliminate the need to attach/detach primary,<br />
archived or historical databases when using 3.0<br />
