Abstract

See full text

A system for measuring drip rate may include a drip chamber device comprising an elongated body including an inner surface defining a chamber, and a drip rate measurement device. The drip chamber may be fluidly coupled to a container containing an IV fluid configured to drip droplets of the IV fluid into the chamber. The drip rate measurement device may include a housing configured to be mounted to the elongated body of the drip chamber, and a load cell transducer mounted in the elongated body and extending into the chamber. The load cell transducer may be configured to measure a weight of the droplets of the IV fluid and convert the weight into an electrical signal. The drip rate measurement device may further include a controller electrically coupled to the load cell transducer to process the electrical signal and output at least one parameter associated with the IV fluid.
