SUPPORT CLAMP
• Install the Pole Mount Support Assembly
(support clamp and optional plastic washer)
approximately 30” from the ground.
• Mount The Belmont® Rapid Infuser RI-2
above the Pole Mount Support Assembly.
• Push the “Pole Clamp Release Handle” down to
lock the RI-2 onto the IV Pole.
• Clamp the Reservoir Support approximately
9” above the RI-2.
IV POLE MOUNTING:

Plug the main connector of the detachable power cable into a dedicated circuit breaker. Fully seat the device connector
(C-19) of the power cable into the power receptacle on the back of The Belmont® Rapid Infuser RI-2. If a moisture guard is
present, ensure it is over the device connector and flat against the back of the machine.

Quick Setup
Guide
Tighten all connections
and snap the reservoir
chamber into the support
Load the circular heat
exchanger with the red
arrow pointing up
Place the pressure chamber
into the pressure chamber
well and press the infuse line
into the air detector
Place the infuse line to the
left of the valve wand and
the thinner recirc line to the
right of the valve wand
Firmly position the
interlock block on top of
the shelf with the blue
arrow pointing inward
Place the larger blue
tubing in the groove to the
left and the smaller tubing
to the right, close and
latch the door
POWER ON AND PRIME
• Turn power switch ON. Ensure AC POWER PRESENT is displayed on
the start up screen.
• Close all spike clamps. Hang and spike fluid bag(s). Open spike
clamps on lines with fluid bags. If the spike is not connected to a fluid
bag leave clamp closed.
• Press PRIME to prime the internal circuit. The prime volume is
displayed on screen.
• Prime the patient line. Press PT. LINE PRIME once to prime at 50mL/
min or press and hold PT. LINE PRIME to prime at 200mL/min. Press
STOP when the line is free of all air bubbles.
CONNECT TO PATIENT AND INFUSE
• Connect the patient line to a single dedicated intravenous
access site using aseptic technique and without entrapping
air.
• Press INFUSE to begin infusion at 10mL/min.
• Press INFUSE RATE ▲/ ▼ to set the desired flow rate.

BATTERY
• System automatically switches to battery when AC is
disconnected
BOLUS INFUSION
• Infuse fixed volume at 200 mL/min (Fixed volume:
Factory set at 200 mL)
• Return to previous flow rate if flow rate was set at 50
mL/min or lower.
• Return to 50 mL/min if flow rate was set higher than
50 mL/min
• Change the preset BOLUS volume: Press and hold
the BOLUS key. Release the key when the desired
BOLUS volume appears in the volume delivered
position
CAUTION:
Immediately wipe any spills from the device.

Disconnect luer lock
and quick connector to
remove the chamber
Replace Filter / Standard Reservoir Chamber (Fluid Supply) Install 3 Liter Reservoir
Connect 3.0 Liter Reservoir to
the 3-Spike Disposable Set
REPLACING RESERVOIR CHAMBER
CAUTION
Replace filter, reservoir chamber and/or disposable set if filter
becomes clogged. If it becomes occluded the fluid out 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.
1. Clamp off the pump tubing using the clamp.
2. Using aseptic techniques, remove the reservoir chamber from
the 3-Spike disposable set.
• Disconnect the larger pump tubing by pressing in the lock
tab on the quick connector and pulling out the connector.
• Disconnect the thinner recirculate line by unscrewing the
luer connector.
3. Connect the reservoir chamber to the luer connectors of the
3-Spike disposable set.
INSTALL 3.0 LITER RESERVOIR
1. Using aseptic technique, attach the three fluid supply tails
onto the top of the 3.0L Reservoir.
2. Attach the reservoir holder on the IV pole, place reservoir in
the holder.
3. Clamp off the pump tubing using the clamp.
4. Using aseptic techniques, remove the reservoir chamber from
the 3-Spike disposable set:
• Disconnect the larger pump tubing by pressing in the lock
tab on the quick connector and pulling out the connector.
• Disconnect the thinner recirculate line by unscrewing the
luer connector.
5. Disconnect the thinner recirculate line by unscrewing the luer
connector.Connect the 3.0 L Reservoir to the quick connect
and luer connectors of the 3-Spike disposable set.
6. Adjust the reservoir holder to make sure that the two
connection leads underneath the reservoir are not stretched
or kinked.
