® 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.
OVERVIEW OF THE BELMONT FMS2000 The complete system consists of the FMS2000 Control System, which is mounted on an IV pole, and the FMS2000 Disposable Set. The FMS2000 can be used only with the supplied disposables. A large volume 3-liter reservoir is available as an optional accessory for convenience in cases involving very large infusion volumes, see page 7.

Using aseptic technique, make patient connection without entrapping air. CAUTION: A single dedicated intravenous access should be used exclusively for infusing blood components and solutions compatible with blood.
Chapter 2: Operation MAINTAIN INFUSION Routinely check patient and system parameters, on screen. Respond to and correct system alarms. CAUTION: Replace reservoir chamber or disposable set when the 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.

Recirculation repeatedly to the rollers inside the pump head. automatically stops and beeps after 5 minutes.
Chapter 2: Operation ACCIDENTAL POWER OFF If the circuit breaker was turned to the STANDBY position while the system is pumping, the system will stop pumping, and alarm. This message is to protect the system from being accidentally powered down during a procedure.
ALARMS AND TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE This chapter describes possible causes for alarm messages with suggestions for corrective actions. When the FMS2000 recognizes a situation that is compromising effective infusing, it stops pumping, heating, moves the valve wand into the recirculate position, displays alarm message, instructions for corrective measure, and sounds an audible alarm.
