Gravity Infusion Management: A Nursing Perspective on Overcoming Operational Obstacles


In hospitals, nurses encounter notable challenges when dealing with gravity infusions, where medications or fluids are administered through an IV using the force of gravity.

Managing a substantial number of patients undergoing gravity infusion across diverse hospital units, including wards, patient rooms, and ICUs, poses a significant hurdle.

On a typical day, nurses are tasked with overseeing the gravity infusion process for approximately 50-75 patients, ensuring timely and accurate administration of essential fluids or medications.

Coordinating and monitoring these gravity infusions efficiently becomes a demanding task for nursing staff working across various shifts.



The introduction of specialized tools, such as AccuFlow Drip Monitor, could provide valuable assistance in addressing these challenges by aiding nurses in identifying and managing patients undergoing gravity infusion at any given time and across multiple hospital settings.

A Comprehensive Solution with 
​Cloud ​and Local Server Capabilities

Our IV Infusion monitoring system provides versatile solutions, utilizing both cloud-based and local server configurations. This system allows for the deployment and connection of hundreds of drip monitors to a centralized platform for the comprehensive monitoring and management of IV therapies through user-friendly web and mobile interfaces.

AccuFlow Kiosks and Scheduler 
​App ​for Efficient IV Therapy Administration

At each nursing station, dedicated AccuFlow Kiosks can be implemented to oversee IV therapies for patients in the corresponding wards or ICUs. Nurses benefit from the system's efficiency by establishing IV routines (including medication, dosage, and timing) for individual patients via the app. The Scheduler App sends timely alerts to nursing staff, ensuring they are notified when an IV session is due for a patient.

Real-Time IV Monitoring

The Remote Monitoring app plays a crucial role in tracking and monitoring the ongoing IV infusion rate, guaranteeing precise dosage delivery and minimizing the risk of medication or dosing errors. Real-time alerts for events such as an empty IV bag or occlusion due to line kinks empower nursing staff to manage patient IVs proactively, ensuring continuity of care and enhancing overall safety.

Enhancing IV Safety and Compliance

The integration of data analytics provides valuable insights into administered IVs, their duration, and generates audit reports that assist hospitals in maintaining regulatory compliance. The AccuFlow Drip monitor solution significantly alleviates the workload on nursing staff and offers hospital management essential insights into IV administration procedures, thereby contributing significantly to patient safety and satisfaction.

A Vital Tool in Modernizing IV Therapy Practices

Streamlining IV Management with AccuFlow Drip Monitors

Hospitals consistently grapple with the challenge of overseeing a substantial number of patients on IV across various units. AccuFlow Drip Monitors provide a solution by allowing nursing staff to effortlessly identify patients undergoing IV administration in real-time, ensuring timely and efficient care management across shifts and different hospital areas.

Efficient IV Medication Management

The hospital environment, where multiple IVs are administered concurrently, poses a scheduling challenge, making it complex to record and administer the right medication with the right dosage at the right time. AccuFlow Drip Monitor simplifies the complex task of recording and administering IV medications within a hospital setting. Nursing staff can easily manage specific IV schedules for each patient, maintaining a comprehensive record that facilitates smooth transitions between shifts. This ensures that IV administrations are not delayed, minimizing the risk of medication errors.

Real-Time Alerts for Enhanced Safety

In the course of IV administration, occurrences of occlusion and backflow often arise, resulting in patient discomfort and safety concerns. Patients or their attendants are required to notify nursing staff to address these situations.

Additionally, when the IV bag is empty, there is no automated alert for the nursing staff stationed at the nursing station. They must either check periodically or rely on the patient or attendant to inform them when the IV is completed. This presents a significant challenge for both the patient and their attendant, as well as the nursing staff, contributing to overall patient dissatisfaction.

AccuFlow Drip Monitor addresses common challenges during IV administration, such as occlusion and empty IV bags. By providing real-time alerts, the system enables proactive responses from nursing staff, ensuring patient comfort and safety. This feature significantly improves IV administration safety and contributes to heightened patient satisfaction.
Meticulous IV Management

At times, certain patients receiving IV infusions require meticulous management, necessitating precise control over the volume, specific duration of IV administration, or close monitoring of the dosage delivery rate.

The AccuFlow Drip Monitor solution facilitates seamless remote monitoring of real-time IV administration data for nursing staff. They can easily undertake necessary interventions based on clinical requirements.

The system enables nursing staff to set alerts for the volume to be infused, high or low rate thresholds, or duration, receiving timely notifications when these thresholds are reached.This capability enhances the precision and effectiveness of IV therapies.
Innovative tools to ensure precise IV therapy management

AccuFlow Drip Monitor plays a pivotal role in reducing medication and dosing errors by providing a structured and monitored environment for IV administration. The system's features contribute to enhanced accuracy and reliability in medication delivery.


Drip Rate Calculator:

The Drip Rate Calculator is a sophisticated feature designed to simplify and streamline the process of calculating the drip rate. This tool empowers healthcare professionals by allowing them to input specific parameters, including the desired volume, duration of infusion, and the chosen drop factor. With this information, the AccuFlow Drip Monitor accurately calculates the optimal drip rate, facilitating precise and customized IV administration for each patient. This feature enhances efficiency and accuracy, providing a valuable resource for healthcare providers seeking to optimize IV therapy delivery. 

Drop Count Tool:

The Drop Count Tool is an asset for verifying the set drip rate during IV administration. Healthcare professionals can manually count the drops as they fall, and the AccuFlow Drip Monitor cross-references this count with the predetermined drip rate. This real-time verification process ensures that the IV therapy is being administered at the intended rate, minimizing the risk of dosing errors. The Drop Count Tool adds an additional layer of safety and reliability to the overall IV therapy management process, offering healthcare providers the confidence and assurance needed to deliver high-quality patient care.

Together, these features showcase the AccuFlow Drip Monitor's commitment to precision and safety in IV therapy management. By integrating advanced tools for drip rate calculation and verification, healthcare professionals can enhance their ability to administer accurate and tailored IV treatments, ultimately contributing to improved patient outcomes and satisfaction.
