8and similar language throughout this specification may, but do not5necessarily, all refer to the same embodiment.[0018]Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms usedherein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one ofordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs. The method and10examples provided herein are illustrative only and not intended to belimiting.[0019]Theembodiments of the present invention will be nowdescribed in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the15accompanying drawings, like reference numerals are used to indicate likecomponents.However, the present invention is not limited totheembodiments. The present invention can be modified in various forms.The embodiments of the present invention are only provided to explainmore clearly the present invention to the ordinarily skilled in the art of the20present invention.[0020]The present invention relatestoaninfusion(IV)monitoringandalarmingsystem(100)which enables amedical attendantor healthcareproviderto be alerted when a predetermined amount of fluid has been25infused, or the infusion container is nearly empty.Theinfusion monitoringsystemof the present inventionworks on adjustable weight mechanism tobalance whereinas per requirementtheinfusioncontainersof variable
9quantitycan be selected easily.5[0021]According to Figure1, the infusion monitoringsystem(100)ofthe present invention comprises a balancing bar(102)disposedinahousing(101), a hook(103)attached to the housing forsuspendingtheinfusion containeranda lever mechanism(104)to select variable weight10ofaninfusion container. Thesystems further comprises ofamicrocontrollerunitto generate a warning signal when a predeterminedlevel of infusion fluid isreached. The microcontrollerunitis coupled to aFM radio transmitterfor transmitting the warning signalto the receiver at aremote locationand a GSM module for transmitting the warning signal in15the form of a message to the communication device of the attendant.Inthesystemof present inventionthelevermechanismallowstoselectcontainer weight ranging frombut not limited to100ml,500ml,1000ml,etc.20[0022]According to a preferred embodiment of the present inventionthe infusion monitoringsystem(100)has balancing adjustmentandwhenweight offluid in containerreachesadesired level orpredeterminedamountof fluid has been administeredthen by balancing mechanismthebalancing bar(102)touches a point tocompleteacircuit anda warning25signal is actuated.Thewarning signalistransmittedin the formofanaudio buzzer, or an audio-visual buzzerto theattendantaway from thepatient. A text message is also sent tothecommunication deviceof the
10attendant. The audio-visual buzzer also comprises of displaying the bed5numberof the patientto easily find exact bed for replacingtheinfusioncontainer.Preferably, theinfusion monitoringsystem(100)of the presentinventioncan be used to monitor multiple infusion end-pointsandalsoincludes a chargeable battery.10[0023]According to a preferred embodiment of the present inventionthe infusionmonitoring system (100)is basedon balancingmechanism.As shown in Figure. 1, thebalancing bar(102)comprisesan integratedweight(W)which slideson balancing baralong withslidinglever (104)toposition10, 20, 30thatare suitable forselecting1000ml, 500ml and15100mlinfusion containerrespectivelyafter practical determination.Byslidingthelever (104)weight of theinfusioncontainer is selected.Forexample,for hanginga1000ml infusion containeron hook (103)lever isslid toposition10, for 500ml container lever is slid toposition20and for100ml container lever is slid toposition30.The Balancing bar (102)20rotates onabearing mechanism (105)whichprovidesavery smoothrotation.Whentheweightof infusion container reachesto5%of totalweightor lower it results in touching ofpoint60bypoint50on thebalancing barandthuscompletingthe circuitto raise awarning signal. Inthe system of present inventionaFM transmittertransmits the warning25signaltoawirelessreceiverataremote location for exampletostaffroomor attendant’s room.The transmitter isalso coupled toarechargeablebattery to supplythepower.The receiverat remote locationreceivesthe

Thesystemis simple to useand require no higher skills to operate it. In order to activate thesystem,an infusioncontaineris merelysuspendedon thehook(103)of thesystem. The useror attendantdoes not have to look at thesystemor15touch it until thefluidhits thepredeterminednear empty set point, at whichpoint awarning signalwill sound audibly and/orvisually. Atthat point theuser can take thecontaineroff of thehookandthesystemisnowreadyfor the next fluidcontainer.Thesystemof the present invention iscompact,durable,economical,andrequiresvery low maintenance.20[0025]The figures and the foregoing description give examples ofembodiments. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that one or more ofthe described elements may well be combined into a single functionalelement. Alternatively, certain elements may be splitinto multiple25functional elements. Elements from one embodiment may be added toanother embodiment. For example, orders of methods described hereinmay be changed and are not limited to the manner described herein.
12Moreover, those acts that are not dependent on other acts may be5performed in parallel with the other acts. The scope of embodiments is byno means limited by these specific examples. Numerous variations,whether explicitly given in the specification or not, such as differences instructure, dimension, and use of material, are possible. The scope ofembodiments is at least as broad as given by the following claims.
