Abstract

Continuous monitoring of intravascular fluid levels is essential in critical care, hemodynamic management, and intravenous (IV) therapy to prevent complications such as air embolism, fluid overload, and line occlusion. Conventional fluid-level indicators require manual observation, resulting in delays and increased clinical burden. This study proposes a smart intravascular level detection system using infrared (IR) sensing technology to provide a real-time, non-invasive, and cost-effective solution for IV fluid monitoring. The device employs an infrared transmitter–receiver pair to detect changes in optical absorption and scattering characteristics as the fluid level varies within the IV tube. Signal conditioning and microcontroller-based processing enable continuous monitoring with high precision. Experimental evaluation demonstrates a detection accuracy of 98.6%, rapid response time (<50 ms), and reliable performance under varying ambient light conditions. The system offers significant potential for integration into smart hospitals, wearable infusion systems, and automated clinical monitoring environments.
