LabTec Methadone Dispenser: Overview
The LabTec Methadone Dispenser provides high precision, high accuracy, and programmable
Methadone dispensing capability. The LabTec utilizes an optically encoded, servo-controlled motor,
assuring a highly reproducible pump performance. The LabTec system comes with an RH1CKC
piston pump head (Parker P/N: 080-402) which is powered by 3400 RPM motor (Parker P/N: 010-
017-2).
The LabTec has been used for many years on a nationwide and now international basis, and
provides long term accurate service in the dispensing of Methadone and the control of inventory in
the clinic when properly maintained and calibrated.
PumpSense™: Pump Overload Protection
When Methadone is allowed to dry inside the piston pump head, the LabTec software will recognize
this condition and go into a stand-by mode, the pump motor is turned off and the following message
is displayed:
Before continuing with your pumping application, immediately replace the methadone container with
your cleaning solution, press the A button twice to return to the normal screen and try dispensing
again. If this works, run the solution for at least 2 minutes before flushing and returning to normal
operations. If the situation continues, contact Parker Customer Service for assistance. The
PumpSense™feature has been implemented as a failsafe device to protect your pump head and
motor from permanent damage.
NOTE: Parker has implemented a LabTec preventative maintenance and loaner program.
Send in your LabTec unit to Parker for pump head cleaning and seal replacement. The
service also includes functional test, calibration as well as a written performance validation.
The typical turn-around time for LabTec repairs is 10 business days. You can rent a LabTec
loaner from Parker while your unit is being serviced.
Contact your Parker TM or Technical Support at 805-604-3400 To obtain the appropriate form and
TSP number prior to shipping your unit in for service.

Part A: LabTec™ Methadone Hardware:
1.0 Hardware Overview:
The LabTec has been designed to automate routine dispensing of Methadone from the 0.5 ml to 30
ml range, or the equivalent of 5 to 300 mg of Methadone as used in the United States. The LabTec
allows you to easily calibrate the unit at 200 mg (100 mg for the older powder blue units) and does
an excellent job of helping your clinical software maintain accurate inventories. Refer to the
calibration instructions later in this manual.
2.0 Pump Head/Motor:
The LabTec™Methadone Dispenser comes with a 3400 RPM, optically encoded, servo-
controlled motor and a RH1-CKC piston pump head. Materials of construction: the pump body is
made of Kynar, the piston and cylinders are made of ceramic. Both Kynar and ceramic are inert
materials and do not interact/react with Methadone. The head is equipped with a vernier style
adjustment that makes calibration easy.
NOTE: It is critical that the head be kept clean when not in use. This cannot be emphasized
enough to the clinical staff. Most Methadone in use is flavored, containing sugar and other
ingredients that will crystallize inside the head and cause it to freeze up, yielding the “Check Pump
Head” error mentioned above. Please refer to the cleaning procedures section of this manual.

3.0 Front Panel: Data Entry and Display
The front panel consists of a user interface, which includes an alphanumeric display and a
membrane keypad to select operational modes and alarm settings. The display is a two line, 20
character each, liquid crystal display (LCD). The display is backlit to allow easy viewing over a wide
range of lighting conditions.
The lower line on the LCD is used to signify the function of the “soft keys” marked “A”, “B” and “C”.
The “soft key” current labels are displayed in the lower line of the LCD. If you press these keys,
then the function displayed above it will be performed.
The main keypad consists of eight “hard” keys whose function does not change. These keys are
used for basic control and programming of the LabTec.
The A B and C keys along with the Exit button are the only ones used in normal operation.
Pressing any key will take one out of Serial Mode, the mode used with this unit.
If the unit displaying something other than “Serial CW 160 ml/m” on the top line, press the Exit
button to reach “Mode Select Serial”, and then press C to select, and A to execute to return to the
proper screen.
Two LED’s are also on the front panel, just to the left of the main keypad. These indicate the current
pump status. A green light indicated the pump is in motion; the red light indicated that the pump has
stopped.

5.0 LabTec Cleaning & Maintenance: RH1-CKC Pump Head
NOTE: It is critical that the head be kept clean when not in use. This cannot be emphasized
enough to the clinical staff. Most Methadone in use is flavored, containing sugar and other
ingredients that will crystallize inside the head and cause it to freeze up if not removed well at the
end of the shift, yielding a “Check Pump Head” error and stopping the dispensing process.
Cleaning the Pump Head:
Parker strongly recommends the use of a 50:50 mixture of distilled water and isopropyl
alcohol (IPA) (final concentration of 35-40%) for cleaning purposes. Alternatively, an Alconox soap
solution may be used. (www.alconox.com) If Alconox is used, heat the solution when mixed to be
sure it is fully dissolved. It may also be heated prior to cleaning.
This solution must be pumped through the pump head for at least two (2) minutes or until the
cleaning solution appears clear at the discharge port of the pump. Stop the pump and leave the
cleaning solution in your pump head, or remove it and follow up with a rinse of distilled water. Do
not remove the tubing from the solution reservoir until you are ready to prime the pump with
Methadone the following day.
Do not leave Methadone in the pump head overnight. Preventive maintenance is very
valuable and ensures a long operational pump life.
NOTE: Never use tap water for flushing, the water “hardness” associated with most tap water
supplies will cause the pump head to “freeze”, i.e. the pump head becomes inoperable.
NOTE: If the LabTec Methadone unit is not used frequently or is to be stored for an extended
period of time, use the cleaning procedure outlined above then fill a 12” piece of tubing with
cleaning solution or distilled water, and connect the tubing between the pump inlet and outlet. Turn
the pump on and run in Manual Mode at 100% for a brief period to ensure the pump head is filled
with cleaning solution. If stored for more than 30 days, repeat this process once a month. This
simple procedure prevents the pump head from drying out and thus remains operable for a long
time.
These cleaning procedures work for all versions of the LabTec Methadone pumps.
The following Calibration Procedure on the next page
is used for the new (Dark Blue) units.
For the older (Powder Blue) units, the procedure is the
same except please calibrate only at 100 mg.
Call Parker Tech Support at 805-604-3400
if additional assistance is required.

6.1 LabTec Methadone Calibration: RH1-CKC Pump Head
Routine calibration checks and adjustments are commonplace and easy to perform. They keep your
system running at its best and your inventory accurate. If assistance is needed, call Parker Tech
Support at 805-604-3400.
Equipment needed:
A calibration tool to accurately measure volume or weight.
a. Good: a 25 ml graduated cylinder (glass, not plastic!);
b. Better: a 20 ml Volumetric flask (also glass);
c. Best: a balance with 0.1-gram resolution or better.
(All calibration will be done with water in this scenario.)
d. Larger graduated cylinders, syringes, or medicine cups
are not recommended due to inherent lack of accuracy.
If using a) or b) above, please read them level, and at the
bottom of the meniscus as shown:
Procedure:
A. Gather your calibration vessel. This can be a 20 ml volumetric flask,
a 25 ml graduated cylinder or a balance with a 0.1 gm resolution or better.
B. Enter the Calibration section of your clinical software and instruct the pump to dispense 200
mg. (This is equivalent to a 20 ml volume.) (Older, powder blue units, use 100 mg / 10 ml)
C. Measure the volume dispensed, and adjust the pump head accordingly:
a. Referring to the image below, if the dispense is over, turn the textured collar
clockwise (right) to reduce the volume.
b. Using the edge of the red label at the top as a reference point, turn it 2-4 of the small
marks on the Black ring at a time.
c. If the dispense is under, turn the collar counter-clockwise (left) to increase the
volume.
d. After adjustment, perform 2-3 more dispenses at 200 mg to confirm, re-adjust as
needed.
e. Once satisfied with the results, Calibration is complete, return to dispensing.

Tubing:
#16 (1/4” OD x 1/8” ID) Food Grade Tygon tubing is normally used in this system. It can be
purchased from Parker Customer Service in boxes of 50 ft. (PN 400-216)
When asked, we recommend replacing the entire tubing set once every 6 months, and when doing
so, cut both pieces a foot longer than needed. (This can be done more frequently if the clinic wishes
to.) This allows you to remove the tubing from the pump once a month and cutting of the last 2” of it
that has been trapped inside the head. The tubing does swell over time in these conditions and will
cause under-dispensing issues resulting in problems with the calibration and accuracy of the
dispensing at the end of the day.
