Behind Every Drip: The Unseen Risks in Infusion Care
Over 90% of hospitalised patients receive IV fluid therapy, which makes it one of the most common invasive treatment procedures and a critical component of modern medicine. However, scattered infusion points, limited nursing staff, and manual processes create delays, risks, and added workload.
Delayed or Premature Nurse Call
Patients or family members may press the call bell too early or too late after the infusion ends, causing unnecessary nurse visits or delayed medication changes.
Improper Drip Speed
Patients may adjust the drip rate themselves, leading to dosing errors that compromise treatment safety.
Delayed Call at Night
Limited night-shift staffing makes it harder to monitor multiple infusions, increasing the risk of delayed intervention.
Overwhelming Paperwork
Manual infusion records are time-consuming and may lead to errors or omissions, risking the continuity of patient care.
When the Drip Stops, Ocamar Notice First
Fast Response and Safer Care
Ocamar utilizes gravity-based sensors to monitor fluid levels in IV bottles or bags. The data is transmitted in real time via antennas and gateways to the IoT data engine. Based on the collected data, the infusion monitoring system displays a unified dashboard, allowing nurses to track progress at a glance. The system also sends automatic alerts for incorrect drip rates, infusion completion, and generates infusion reports, ensuring timely interventions and enhanced patient care.
Real-Time Monitoring
The system tracks drip rate, remaining infusion time, and fluid volume, providing real-time updates for efficient patient management.
Timely Alerts
Instant notifications for drip interruptions, completion, and abnormal flow rates—delivered to both PC and PDA for prompt response.
Auto-Generated Reports
Daily trends, patient load, and flow insights—all in one place.
Zero Workflow Disruption
No buttons, automatic drug matching via HIS, and a "hang and go" setup—ensures smooth operation.
Unified Architecture, Single Deployment, Scalable Expansion
Built on a wired Ethernet network, the system is easy to deploy—no complex feeder cables required.
With a single infrastructure setup, hospitals can easily expand to multiple IoT applications in the future, such as vital signs monitoring, body temperature tracking, and more—all sharing the same network backbone.
Installed on the hospital server, the IV Infusion Monitoring System provides real-time tracking of patient infusion status at the nurse station, offering proactive alerts for infusion completion and abnormal drip rates.
