Abstract

The gravity IV administration set is widely used with its inherent advantages. However, one big problem in using the traditional IV infusion set is the difficulty in confirming the infusion rate and total infused volume. By counting the number of drips in the administration chamber, it is possible to monitor the infusion rate with high accuracy. We developed a miniaturized drip rate meter which is mountable on the drip chamber of a commercial IV infusion set to provide accurate infusion rate as well as total infused volume. The developed system comprises optical sensor, amplifier circuit, detection algorithm in microcontroller, LCD display and select switch. The features of the developed system include switched LED operation, differential mode optical detectors and fuzzy rule based detection algorithm. Results of the evaluation tests verified the performance of the developed system.

基于光学传感器和模糊规则检测算法的小型化静脉滴注率计的研制

重力式静脉给药装置以其固有的优点被广泛应用。然而，在使用传统的静脉输液器时，一个很大的问题是难以确定输液率和总输液量。通过计数给药室的滴数，可以高精度地监测输液速率。我们开发了一种微型滴速计，安装在商业静脉输液器的滴注室上，以提供准确的滴速和总输注量。该系统由光学传感器、放大电路、单片机检测算法、LCD显示和选择开关组成。所开发的系统的特点包括开关LED操作、差分模式光学检测器和基于模糊规则的检测算法。评估测试的结果验证了所开发系统的性能。
