Abstract: The management of multiple intravenous (IV) infusion lines in critical care, emergency, oncology, and perioperative settings presents significant challenges, including tubing entanglement, difficulty in lumen identification, accidental disconnections, and medication administration errors. These issues can compromise patient safety, increase nursing workload, and delay clinical interventions. The Smart-Sleeve: Multi-Lumen IV Lines Organizer is an innovative nursing device designed to provide structured organization, identification, and protection of multiple IV lines through a flexible multi-channel sleeve system. The device incorporates separate tubing channels, color-coded identification pathways, writable medication labels, and optional QR/NFC-based smart identification technology to facilitate rapid verification of infusion information. The sleeve is constructed from medical-grade antimicrobial material and includes a quick-release safety mechanism for emergency access. By maintaining physical separation of IV lines and enabling efficient line tracing, the Smart-Sleeve reduces the risk of medication errors, improves workflow efficiency, and enhances patient safety. The device can be utilized across intensive care units, operating rooms, emergency departments, oncology units, and other healthcare settings requiring complex infusion management. This innovation represents a practical and cost-effective solution for modern intravenous therapy management while supporting safe nursing practice and quality patient care.
