Abstract

In the present scenario, lack of skilled care takers for the patients has aroused as a major issue in medical field. In this paper, an automatic IVF (Intra Venous Fluid) bottle changer has been designed, which avoids the necessity for the attendants to stay along with the patients. The main aim of the device is automatic change of saline bottles which in turn avoids the reverse movement  of blood in case of delays and also monitors the vital signs of the patients. The IVF changer is designed to control the drip rate of intravenous saline fluid flow to the patients and also changes to the next bottle when previous saline bottle gets over. It also sends an emergency alarm signal in case of shivering and heartbeat abnormalities to the respective nurse via mobile application. The saline bottles can also be change based upon the priority as programmed before to the next bottle. Likewise, N number of bottles maybe connected in series so as to change the bottle as per requirement without any manual interaction
