It is essential that you read and understand this manual
before operating the system.
The Belmont®Rapid Infuser, FMS2000,warms blood, colloid, and crystalloid to physiologic
temperature at user-set rates from 10 to 750 milliliters per minute (ml/min) with a 1000 ml/min as
an option. 2.5 and 5.0 ml/min (150 and 300ml/hr) are also available to keep the venous line open
but no heating is provided at these rates.
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 touch 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.
INDICATIONS FOR USE
Infusion of crystalloid, colloid, or blood product, including packed red blood cells, as
volume replacement for patients suffering from blood loss due to trauma or surgery.
Infusion of warmed fluid to re-warm patients after surgery or for hypothermia.
Infusion of warmed fluid for irrigation in urology procedures.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
The system should not be used where the desired flow rate is below 2.5 ml/min or above
1000 ml/min.
