Fluid flow meter for gravity fed intravenous fluid delivery systems

This invention describes a flow meter for gravity-fed IV systems. Fluid flows through an angled, suspended tube that bends under its weight until a drop forms and falls, causing the tube to spring back. Sensors monitor this cycle, and a processor calculates the flow rate, which can then be adjusted by a regulator.

Why it matters: Since 2001, miniaturized, accurate sensors and powerful microcontrollers make precise drop detection and flow regulation significantly more feasible.
