The Belmont®Rapid Infuser RI-2, warms blood, colloid, and crystalloid to physiologic
temperature at user-set rates from 10 to 750 milliliters per minute (ml/min) with 1000 ml/min as
an option. 2.5 and 5.0 ml/min (150 and 300 ml/hr) are also available to keep the venous line
open.
The system monitors temperature, line pressure, and air in the fluid path to ensure safe operation
and alarms at all unsafe conditions. A hardware override circuit prevents unsafe operation in
case of system computer failure. A screen displays flow rate, total fluid infused, temperature, line
pressure, alarm and status messages and proper procedures to proceed safely after an alarm
situation. Keys appropriate to a particular point in the operation are displayed on the touch screen.
A battery backup allows for mobile transport of the patient. During battery operation, fluid warming
is disabled while pump operation and safety monitoring remain active. The built-in rechargeable
battery automatically charges whenever the system is connected to line power.
NOTE: Federal law (USA) restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.

Warnings
•Use dedicated circuit breaker to avoid risk of supply interruption and for proper function of The
Belmont Rapid Infuser RI-2. The Belmont draws maximum current under normal operating
conditions and should be the only device operating on the circuit breaker.
•Do not use with pressure infusers or “bag squeezers”. The system pump provides adequate
pressure to infuse fluid.
•Do not use this product in the presence of flammable anesthetics.
•Do not use this product in an Oxygen rich environment.
•Do not use this product in the presence of Nitrous Oxide.
•The Belmont Rapid Infuser RI-2 should not be left unattended while in operation.
•Disposable set is for single patient use only. Do not reuse.
•Inspect and make certain that the patient line is completely primed and free of air. Any air
bubbles after the valve wand in the patient line must be removed before the procedure can
safely continue.
•Once the door is opened, all safety features of the system may be bypassed. Clamp off the
patient line to ensure that air is not allowed to enter the patient prior to opening the door to the
RI-2.
•Do not infuse blood that is in the disposable set when over temperature condition occurs. Red
cells that have been subjected to high temperature may not be safe to infuse.
•Do not access SERVICE mode to adjust settings while the instrument is connected to patient.
•Excessive or prolonged recirculation may damage red blood cells by exposing them repeatedly
to the rollers inside the pump head.
•Practice standard precautions when handling blood products. Treat all blood as if it were
infected and clean up all spills immediately.
•Medical Electrical Equipment needs special precautions regarding EMC and needs to be
installed and put into service according to the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
information provided in the accompanying documents.
•Portable and Mobile RF Communications Equipment can affect Medical Electrical Equipment.

Cautions
•If an IV pole is used, check that the system is securely clamped to the IV pole and will not tip
over.
•Do not pressurize the reservoir.
•Do not apply a vacuum to the reservoir.
•Ensure the tubing and the reservoir and the interlock block is not bent, kinked, or pulled too
tight.
•Immediately wipe any spills from the device.
•Prime the main system with solutions compatible with blood products. Do not prime with blood
or blood products.
•A dedicated intravenous access site should be used for infusing blood components and
solutions compatible with blood per AABB guidelines.
•Replace reservoir chamber or disposable set if the filter becomes clogged. If it becomes
occluded the fluid sensor will activate, an audible alarm will sound, a message "Fluid Out,
Check inlet tubing and Filter. Add more fluid" will appear and the pump will stop.
•Excessive or prolonged recirculation may damage red blood cells by exposing them repeatedly
to the rollers inside the pump head.
•Battery operation should be used only briefly or at very low flow rates because there is no
heating.
•With fluid in the disposable set and the system not powered on, keep the patient line clamped
closed when opening the door to prevent uncontrolled fluid flow.
•Do not infuse blood that is in the disposable set when over temperature condition occurs. Red
cells that have been subjected to high temperature may not be safe to infuse.
•Turn the system to OFF and unplug the power cord before cleaning to avoid electric shock.
