In hospital setup intravenous flow rate is monitored manually. In order to avoid human error, automatic intravenous fluid flow meter can be used to regulate flow rate. The aim is to develop an automatic flow meter for intravenous tube and fluid level detector for saline bag. This project uses Arduino Uno R3 which is a micro-controller board with input voltage of 7-12V and an operating voltage of 5V to control the system. The other components used in the study are Stepper motor to control the flow, DC supply, IR sensor to measure level of saline in bottle, LCD screen to display the flow rate and a buzzer in order to signal the flow level of saline bag. The system helped the healthcare worker to regulate the flow rate effectively and minimize the human errors. It also helped to know and display the flow rate of intravenous fluid. The buzzer worked efficiently to indicate the saline level. The automatic intravenous fluid system is advanced way of monitoring the intravenous fluid flow rate. It is helpful in minimizing the human errors as the adjustment of the flow rate can be done by the use of automatic flow system and a buzzer to signal the saline level.
