[0002] Infusion safety is a crucial part of clinical nursing care. Nurses conduct hourly ward rounds to ensure the proper functioning of infusions and that the drip rate meets requirements. However, the interval between rounds is an easily overlooked aspect of infusion monitoring. If the drip rate is too fast or too slow due to changes in patient position, pressure on the infusion tubing, or needle issues, it can lead to infusion safety problems. Currently, infusion reminder devices are used clinically, but these devices only alert when the infusion is complete and cannot monitor or alarm on the infusion rate. Furthermore, nurses need to manually count the drip rate using a stopwatch or rely solely on experience when adjusting it. Using a stopwatch is inconvenient, and relying solely on experience can introduce errors.

[0003] Existing technologies, such as CN221672978U, disclose an empty infusion bottle alarm device, which uses a photoelectric liquid flow sensor to detect the liquid in the infusion tube in real time. When the liquid in the infusion tube is exhausted, it promptly detects the presence of air in the infusion tube and triggers an alarm through an alarm light and a buzzer. However, it does not have the function of alarming when the flow rate is too fast or too slow. Summary of the Invention

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but this does not limit the present invention.

[0021] like Figures 1-5As shown, this embodiment provides an infusion monitoring device, including a housing 1. A clamping part 2 is provided on the rear side of the housing 1. A first groove 101 is provided on the rear side of the housing 1, and a second groove 201 is provided on the front side of the clamping part 2. The first groove 101 and the second groove 201 are opposite to each other and parallel to each other. A flow measurement component 15 is embedded in the first groove 101 and / or the second groove 201. A circuit board 3 is fixedly installed inside the housing 1. The circuit board 3 is provided with a display screen 4, a button assembly 5, a controller 6, a memory 7, an alarm component 9, and a battery 8. The display screen 4, button assembly 5, flow measurement component 15, memory 7, and alarm component 9 are all electrically connected to the controller 6. The power terminals of the controller 6 and the display screen 4 are both electrically connected to the battery 8. The button assembly 5 includes a switch button 501, an upper limit increase button 502, an upper limit decrease button 503, a lower limit increase button 504, and a lower limit decrease button 505. The display screen 4, button assembly 5, and alarm component 9 are embedded in the housing 1. The infusion tubing is clamped between the first groove 101 and the second groove 102. The flow measurement component 15 measures the flow rate in the infusion tubing and displays it on the display screen 4. Medical staff can manually adjust the infusion flow regulator installed on the infusion tubing according to the displayed value to keep the flow rate between the set upper and lower limits. The upper and lower limits of the flow rate that trigger the alarm can be quickly and easily set by using the upper limit increase button 502, upper limit decrease button 503, lower limit increase button 504, and lower limit decrease button 505. The memory 7 is connected to the controller 6 and can save the set flow rate information in the memory 6. The controller 6 compares the flow rate measured by the flow measurement component 15 with the set upper and lower limits. When the measured flow rate is greater than the set upper limit or less than the set lower limit, the controller 6 controls the alarm component 9 to sound an alarm. The switch button 501 is used to control the switch of the infusion monitoring device. The battery 8 supplies power to the controller 6 and the display screen 4.

[0022] Furthermore, a wireless communication module 10 is provided on the circuit board 3, and the wireless communication module 10 is connected to the controller 6 circuit. The wireless communication module 10 can be a Wi-Fi module or a Bluetooth module, which can send alarm information to a server or mobile terminal, so that medical staff can monitor the infusion flow rate and remind medical staff to deal with it in time when abnormalities occur.

[0023] Furthermore, the circuit board 3 is equipped with a camera 11, which is circuitically connected to the controller 6. The camera 11 is fitted into the upper side of the housing 1. If the infusion bag has a QR code, the camera 11 on the circuit board 3 can scan the QR code on the infusion bag and obtain the corresponding infusion flow rate requirement from the server based on the information provided by the QR code through the wireless communication module 10, and record it in the memory 7; if the QR code contains the infusion flow rate requirement information, the infusion flow rate requirement can be directly recorded in the memory 7.

[0024] Furthermore, the circuit board 3 is equipped with a lighting lamp 12, which is connected to the battery 8. The lighting lamp 12 is fitted into the upper side of the housing 1. The circuit board 3 has a lighting switch 13 on the circuit connecting the lighting lamp 12 and the battery 8, and the lighting switch 13 is fitted into one side of the housing 1. In low-light conditions at night, the lighting lamp 12 on the circuit board provides illumination when the camera 11 scans codes, facilitating operation. The lighting switch 13 is independently located on the connection circuit between the lighting lamp 12 and the battery 8 on the circuit board 3, allowing independent operation of the lighting lamp 12.

[0025] Furthermore, a distance sensor 14 is provided on the upper side of the housing 1. The distance sensor 14 is connected to the controller 6 and is fitted into the upper side of the housing 1. The distance sensor 14 can be an infrared distance sensor, used to detect the distance between the housing 1 and the infusion bag to prevent incorrect clamping.

[0026] Furthermore, a charging port 801 is provided on one side of the battery 8, and the charging port 801 is fitted into the lower side of the housing 1. When the battery 8 is a rechargeable battery, the charging port 801 can be used to charge the battery 8. The charging port 801 can be a TYPE-A or TYPE-C type interface.

[0027] Furthermore, the alarm component 9 includes status indicator lights and a buzzer alarm 905. The status indicator lights include a red light 901, a yellow light 902, and a green light 903, which are fitted into the front side of the housing 1. The buzzer alarm 905 is fitted into the lower side of the housing 1. The status indicator lights allow medical staff to quickly understand the infusion status. The green light 903 is activated when the flow rate is normal, the red light 901 is activated when the flow rate is too fast, and the yellow light 902 is activated when the flow rate is too slow. The buzzer alarm 905 sounds when the infusion rate is too fast or too slow.

[0028] Furthermore, the flow measurement component 15 is a photoelectric liquid flow sensor or an ultrasonic liquid flow sensor. Both photoelectric liquid flow sensors and ultrasonic liquid flow sensors can be used to measure the flow rate of liquids and employ existing technology, which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0029] In use, this invention first activates the infusion monitoring device by pressing the switch button 501. Then, according to the doctor's orders, the upper and lower limits of the infusion flow rate are set using the upper limit increase button 502, upper limit decrease button 503, lower limit increase button 504, and lower limit decrease button 505. Alternatively, the doctor's order information can be obtained by scanning a code using the camera 11. The infusion monitoring device is then clamped to the infusion tubing at the top of the Murphy drip chamber via the clamping part 2. The infusion tubing is positioned between the first groove 101 and the second groove 102. After the distance sensor 14 detects that the distance between the infusion bag and the infusion monitoring device is correct, the flow measurement component 15 measures the flow rate in the infusion tubing and displays the flow rate on the display screen 4. Medical staff can adjust the infusion flow rate based on the display screen 4. If incorrect clamping, abnormal flow, or no flow rate is detected after the infusion is completed, an alarm can be triggered by the alarm component 9 to promptly alert medical staff and ensure infusion safety.
