OVERVIEW OF THE BELMONT FMS2000
The complete system consists of the
FMS2000 Control System, which is mounted on
an IV pole, and the FMS2000 System Disposable Set.
The Control System consists of three major components:
o A high speed fluid pump.
o An efficient fluid warmer.
o A Monitoring/Alarm system for sensing and analyzing:
• Infusate Flow Rate
• Fluid Temperature
• Line Pressure
• Air Bubbles in the Infusate
The Disposable Set is preconnected and has a sterile fluid path. It is intended for
single patient use only. It connects directly to fluid or blood bags and contains
components necessary to pump and warm the infusate, and interfaces directly to
temperature, air, and pressure sensors in the Control System. The FMS2000 must be
used only with the supplied disposables.
