  Scott MillerAug 18, 2025
  If your Belmont Medical Equipment isn't heating to the correct temperature, inspect the windows on the disposable set and the IR sensor for any moisture or contaminants. If needed, clean the IR sensor window with a soft cloth and alcohol. Also, check if the input temperature is too low or the flow rate is too high. If the issue continues, have the machine serviced.

  Mr. Jonathon MurrayAug 20, 2025
  If your Belmont Medical Equipment shows no power or the battery life is too short, ensure the power cord is connected to an AC power source and check all power cord connections. The internal battery may need recharging by connecting the power cord to the AC line. If the battery runs for less than 30 minutes after a full 8-hour charge, the rechargeable battery may need to be replaced.

Why is my Belmont Medical Equipment pump running too loud?
- G
  Gregory CraigAug 26, 2025
  If your Belmont Medical Equipment pump is running too loudly, it might be because the roller pump is hitting the door, or the pump tubing isn't installed correctly. Try these steps: 1. Open the door and reinsert the pump tubing. 2. Check for any blood or debris around the door hinges that might be causing the door to lift, leading to the roller pump hitting the door hub.

What to do if the Belmont RI-2 flow rate is slowing down?

  padamsAug 28, 2025
  If the flow rate on your Belmont Medical Equipment is slowing down or not reaching the set rate, it might be because the system is reducing the infusion rate to keep the pressure in the line under the Pressure Limit. Check for and remove any kinks or obstructions in the tubing. Ensure you're using the correct infusion set. You can also increase the flow by raising the Pressure Limit in the Calibration/Setup settings to a higher limit (up to 300 mmHg).

  Misty DominguezSep 7, 2025
  Check the reservoir or recirculate line to ensure it is not obstructed. Make sure the fluid bags are fully spiked and the clamps are open. The pump tubing should not be stretched too taut and must be firmly seated within the sensor.
